Anthems are choral pieces, accompanied by an organ or piano, (or unaccompanied) usually sung by the choir during the signing of the register. This is the choir's chance to show off their skills. However the bride and groom may not even hear this music if they are in another room filling in forms. If there is something you particularly want to hear, make sure they wait for you to re-appear before starting. Performance Notes: We have used some musical abbreviations to denote how many
parts the choir needs to be made up of in order to sing it. SATB unaccompanied means the choir only has to be in four parts and needs no accompaniment S Solo SSAATTBB Organ means you will need a Soprano soloist, an organ and the rest of the choir will need to split into eight parts
