35Anthems are required to be sung by the ritual of the Anglican Church at morning and evening prayer by the choir, and consist of selections from the Psalms, other portions of the Scripture, or the Liturgy, set to music for solo voice or voices, with or without organ or instrumental accompaniment. Permission to sing hymns in church was issued by Elizabeth early in her reign, and the anthem is a strictly English development of ecclesiastical music, although the Wechselgesang of the Germans, the Antifona of the Italians, and the Antienne of the French resemble it, having common origin in the MOTET. Full anthems are sung wholly by chorus, with or without organ accompaniment. Verse anthems begin with solo passage or verse. Solo anthems are sung by solo voice, but with chorus at the conclusion, even though only for the "Amen." Full and verse anthems have passages for solo voices, but begin and end with chorus. Instrumental anthems are those accompanied by other instruments than organ. Nearly every English composer and many of other nationalities have tried this form of composition which is, therefore, rich in variety and in treatment, and reflects with peculiar truth the taste of each succeeding generation—even that of the Commonwealth period, when the anthem was reduced to the simplest form of psalm singing.
