The Church Music Society
Registered Charity No. 290309
Welcome
The CMS exists to promote the use of church music of the highest quality for the diverse needs of the Christian Church.
We seek to enable performers and worship leaders, composers and scholars, by publishing church music, new and old, not otherwise accessible in suitable form, and by providing a platform for research and educational material.
Please read our ‘Membership’ page and consider taking up the benefits of becoming a member of the Society.
Please visit our ‘Catalogue’ through which you can order our titles from our publishers, Oxford University Press, or from Banks Music Publications (with 25% discount from Banks if a Society member).
New Publications
Our latest titles include appealing and varied works for Christmas: the earliest known anthem composed by an English woman, Jane Savage's charming Whilst shepherds watch'd their flocks for high voices; Gounod's stirring Noël (in two editions, for high voices and SATB); and John Sheppard's brilliant respond Verbum caro.
