This article looks briefly at the origin or history, nature and emerging trends with regard to the singing and worship in Anglican Church Liturgy in the ancient metropolitan city of Abeokuta, Nigeria. The growth and development of gospel or Christian music as a commercial product has created a market for singers and instrumentalists and this has created challenges in the Anglican Church in Abeokuta, resulting in a lack of stable and dedicated personnel in the area of instrumentalists to handle its singing and praise worship. Some of the challenges also include financial constraints, division among the church members because of power tussles, a lack of stable choristers, a lack of transparency in undertaking church programmes, inexperienced church leaders, insufficient training of personnel in training interested members in music, inexperienced worship leaders, different belief systems among church members, misinterpretation of the Scriptures by some members, secular music versus sacred music and a lack of committed and spirit-filled instrumentalists. The article analyses the data collected from oral interviews using atlas.ti coding method. The data are presented partly by way of frequency tables and charts. The study used qualitative approaches and conducted self-administered interviews on the major leaders, worship leaders or choir members and key lay members of the selected Anglican churches in Abeokuta. I used focus groups and targeted a population of 85 people in carrying out the field research. The oral interviews were conducted by way of a question and answer method using voice recording, the observation method in some cases, and by document analysis. The recording was done by the researcher, who also took notes as appropriate. The voice recording was moderated and monitored and notes were taken relating to the demeanour of the respondents. The main aim of this article was to critically examine singing and worship in Egba Diocese, Abeokuta, Nigeria, in order to see how best to advance the Gospel through its singing and worship. To arrive at this aim, the following specific objectives underpin this article:

We have put this music to the living and holy Word of God in order to sing. We want the beautiful art of music to be properly used to serve our dear Creator and Christians. He is thereby praised and honored and we are made better and stronger in faith when his holy Word is impressed on our hearts by sweet music. (Odewole 2016:108)

Fortunately or unfortunately, Yorubas have no such succession of scales yet. They have only the pentatonic scale to their credit, although at times some strange notes creep into their songs which might be regarded as the result of an instinctive feeling after variety and extension by means of embellishment. (p. 9)

The information in Table 1 was received from various church leaders on various dates during the interviews. The table shows that when one looks at distribution according to churches, 26% belong to the CCA, 24% to the CCI, 20% to SJCI, 16% to ASCI and 14% to SACI.

I have structured the data according to topical headings that were identified as relevant to the narratives. These are: background and history, liturgical involvement, singing or musical style and organisation and closing reflection. These four headings were not disclosed to the participants. This allowed for a comfortable conversation with all participants during the interview process. The closing reflection is my own synopsis on the relevant headings during the conversation. Including all the material that was narrated during the interviews would be a cumbersome task for the purpose of this article.

A respondent said that music per se in the Anglican Church is part and parcel of its worship. Many times, worship proper does not begin without praising the person you want to commune with, you know who God is and that He likes and enjoys being worshipped and praised, so most times, before any worship proper begins, praise worshipping and singing of songs are the first steps after which one can go into other areas of worship. Most times they find their minds ready for worship when they start with singing songs and praises. Anglican Church music is the music that is written for liturgical worship in Anglican Church services. Almost all of it is written for choir, with or without organ accompaniment. Another respondent noted that, guiding the forefathers to put together the 39 Articles of Religion that form the core of the tenets of what is believed and practised in the Anglican Communion, each of the Articles is firmly rooted in the Bible. He went on to say that their hymns are divinely inspired and suitable for worship, individually or corporately. This is well acknowledged, appreciated and enshrined, in practice, in the Anglican Communion, and that enables the church to fulfil its mandate as they make themselves available for service at different levels in the church.

Bob Dylan, 'Fallen Angels' (Columbia). The former spokesman for a generation, not to mention one of the most important American songwriters of the 20th century, extends his sentimental streak with another dozen covers of songbook material, almost all of which Frank Sinatra also recorded.

Ariana Grande, 'Dangerous Woman' (Republic). Future, Macy Gray, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne are key supporters on the third album from the former Nickelodeon TV star and current Mariah Carey heiress, who's trying to present herself in an increasingly adult fashion curated in part by Britney Spears producer Max Martin.

Mike Adams at His Honest Weight, 'Casio Drone' (Joyful Noise). Third studio LP from Indiana singer-songwriter doesn't spare the variety: classic rock, power pop, synthesizer grooves and shoegaze drones are all part of the fun.

Against the Current, 'In Our Bones' (Fueled By Ramen). Poughkeepsie, N.Y., trio explodes with a fizzy bang on a first LP pushed along by a highly contemporary rock sound, an older sense of pop tunefulness and the sugar-snap vocals of Chrissy Costanza.

Alborosie, 'Freedom & Fyah' (Greensleeves/VP). Those wondering whether a man born in Sicily with the name Alberto D'Ascola can be an 'authentic' reggae artiste should know that he's been living in Jamaica since 2001, and his latest release has a feel for Rastafari culture.

AM, 'Precious Life' (AM Sounds). On his collaborations with London producer Shawn Lee, AM, an L.A. musician and a producer himself, has gained a reputation for groove that doesn't go away on his latest solo full-length, with Joey Waronker producing and drumming and AM playing almost everything else to generate a mellow 1970s mood.

Angel Du$t, 'Rock the (Expletive) On Forever' (Pop Wig). With its five members all in hard-core bands, this 'supergroup' nevertheless wants to keep rocking eternally with a second LP that cranks up the melodies and enthusiastically jumps around as if just discovering punk rock.

Arthur Beatrice, 'Keeping the Peace' (Open Assembly Recordings/Polydor). The second album from an English indie quartet maintains established poise and unpredictability, along with a reflective indie quirkiness that doesn't bury Arthur Beatrice's other attributes.

Richard Ashcroft, 'These People' (Righteous Phonographic Association/Cooking Vinyl). Former lead singer of the 1990s Britpop band the Verve brings in Wil Malone, who arranged strings for some Verve albums, to provide orchestration to his quite poppy fourth solo full-length.

Assassin, 'Combat Cathedral' (Steamhammer/SPV). Not to be confused with a 1980s American metal group or a French rap crew, this Assassin is a pioneer of German thrash that upholds its heavy riffs and 200-beats-per-minute tempos as it inaugurates new lead singer Ingo 'Crowzak' Bajonczak.

Bent Knee, 'Say So' (Cuneiform). An art-rock sextet from Boston doesn't lose the fun or the romanticism of art school on a third album that is at times so halting and spare that it suggests a whole fourth album based on things held back here.

Bird of Youth, 'Get Off' (Kiam). Brooklyn singer and songwriter Beth Wawerna drops her second Bird of Youth album, showing off indie-rock abilities she's built up working with Okkervil River and Nada Surf and chops she's developed from influences like the Byrds and the Muffs.
