All Saints Margaret Street

Music at All Saints Margaret Street

Music plays an integral part in worship at All Saints, just as it has done within worship since the earliest centuries of the Christian church. The principal musical services are High Mass, on Sundays at 11am, and on Holy Days during the week at 6.30pm, while Evensong and Benediction are sung every Sunday evening at 6pm. The following pages introduce music at All Saints, and provide a background to some of its uses.
