 chorale | (pronounced ko-RAL) STROPHIC HYMN in the Lutheran tradition, intended to be sung by the congregation. |
| metric psalm | Metric, rhymed, and STROPHIC vernacular translation of a PSALM, sung to a relatively simple MELODY that repeats for each strophe. |
| anthem | A POLYPHONIC sacred work in English for Anglican religious services. |
| Service | A setting of Anglican service music, encompassing specific portions of Matins, Holy Communion, and Evensong. A Great Service is a MELISMATIC, CONTRAPUNTAL setting of these texts; a Short Service sets the same text in SYLLABIC, CHORDAL style. |
| contrafactum | (Latin, 'counterfeit'; pl. contrafacta) The practice of replacing the text of a vocal work with a new text while the music remains essentially the same; or the resulting piece. |
| chorale motet | CHORALE setting in the style of a sixteenth-century MOTET. |
| motets | (from French mot, "word") POLYPHONIC vocal COMPOSITION; the specific meaning changes over time. The earliest motets add a text to an existing DISCANT CLAUSULA. Thirteenth-century motets feature one or more voices, each with its own sacred or secular text in Latin or French, above a TENOR drawn from CHANT or other MELODY. Most fourteenth- and some fifteenth-century motets feature ISORHYTHM and may include a CONTRATENOR. From the fifteenth century on, any polyphonic setting of a Latin text (other than a MASS) could be called a motet; from the sixteenth century on, the term was also applied to sacred compositions in other languages. |
| cantional style | (from Latin cantionale, 'songbook') Manner of setting CHORALES in CHORDAL HOMOPHONY with the MELODY in the highest voice. |
| metrical psalm | Metric, rhymed, and STROPHIC vernacular translation of a PSALM, sung to a relatively simple MELODY that repeats for each strophe. |
| psalters | A published collection of METRICAL PSALMS. |
| full anthem | ANTHEM for unaccompanied CHOIR in CONTRAPUNTAL style. |
| verse anthem | ANTHEM in which passages for solo voice(s) with accompaniment alternate with passages for full CHOIR doubled by instruments. |
| cambiata | (Italian, 'changed') Figure in sixteenth-century POLYPHONY in which a voice skips down from a DISSONANCE to a CONSONANCE instead of resolving by STEP, then moves to the expected NOTE of resolution. |
