Liturgical Music
Below is our growing collection of liturgical music for free download. Permission is granted to copy for liturgical usage only.
The careful composition of hymns into the English language and the typesetting of this music takes many hours of labor, however, and it is one of our goals at Anaphora Press to “pay the laborer worthy of his hire”. While most iconographers are able to realize some income from their craft, many Orthodox church musicians give countless unpaid hours to their artistry.
Please consider making a one-time or an ongoing donation specifically for this service. The more consistently we can pay our typesetters and composers, the more time they will be able to spend making music for us all to use. Donation checks can be sent to: Anaphora Press, 3110 San Juan Ave., Port Townsend, WA 98368. Please tag them as “Choir Music Donation”.
