Choral Music for Daily Hours
Praying several times a day at fixed hours is already a custom in Judaism. The Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican and Protestant churches know the Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office) or the Liturgy of the Hours with several psalms, readings and hymns. Whereas in the monastic life, up to seven hours of prayer are used, in the church congregations usually only the afternoon prayer (Vespers) and the night prayer (Compline) are prayed. The Anglican form, Evensong, is increasingly being imitated.
