Preces (Latin ''preces'', plural of ''prex'', "prayer") are, in liturgical worship, short petitions that are said or sung as versicle and response by the officiant and congregation respectively. This form of prayer is one of the oldest in Christianity, finding its source in both the pre-Christian Hebrew prayers of the Psalms in Temple Worship,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bible (King James)/Psalms )〕 ==In Anglicanism== An example familiar to Anglicans (and Lutherans, in their Matins services) is the opening versicles and responses of the Anglican services of Morning and Evening Prayer according to the ''Book of Common Prayer'': :''Priest:'' O Lord, open thou our lips: :''People:'' And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. :''Priest:'' O God, make speed to save us: :''People:'' O Lord, make haste to help us. :''Priest:'' Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. :''People:'' As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. :''Priest:'' Praise ye the Lord. :''People:'' The Lord's name be praised. This particular form has existed in all of the liturgical churches since well before the Reformation. The responses continue later in the service, after the Apostle's Creed. There are many musical settings of the text, ranging from largely homophonic settings such as those by William Byrd and Thomas Morley, to more elaborate arrangements that may even require organ accompaniment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Preces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
