Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

a modern Anglican term used to signify a choral celebration of the holy eucharist with priest, deacon, and subdeacon, or with music. It is equivalent to the "high mass" or "solemn mass" of the Roman Catholics, and if used of evening service is the same as "solemn vespers."
