Canon 13:

The rubrics and other directions of the Book of Common Prayer shall be applied in relation to the use
of music in the services of the Church, and the Hymnal 1940 (United States of America) shall be the
primary musical standard, subject to modifications as may be set forth by The Ordinary. It shall be the
duty of every Rector to see that music is used in his congregation as an offering for the glory of God and
as a help to the people in their worship. To this end he shall be the final authority, consistent with the
Canons of this Church, in the administration of matters pertaining to music, with such assistance as he
may see fit to employ from persons skilled in music. It shall be his duty to suppress all unseemly music
and all irreverence in the rendition thereof.
