I appreciate what they're doing in terms of Anglicanism, but I prefer Episcopal church worship without a rock band/rhythm section. Anglicanism should include a healthy diet of the music of Herbert Howells, S.S. Wesley, and Charles Stanford. :)

Me too. We are fortunate to have a rector who recently earned his PhD in music, focus on choirs. We don't have the material for a really great choir (esp. as yours truly has been recruited), but between him and his wife (who is working on her PhD in music, specialty piano), our church organist, we are pretty well set for traditional music.

And other than the prelude/postlude, it's strictly from the 1940 Hymnal (and plenty from above Hymn 600 therein).
