choral service

Hymns in church

A choral service is a religious worship service in which a choir plays a central role, singing hymns, anthems, and liturgical responses.

The term is most associated with Anglican and Episcopal traditions, where evensong and other services feature elaborate choral music: We attended the choral service at the cathedral.
