Lutheran worship moves in the rhythms of the church year, which effect a felicitously thorough emphasis on the essential truths and themes of Holy Scripture and Christian life with an annual review of the chief events in Christ’s earthly ministry. Liturgical worship provides the security and stability fostered by the regular repetition of certain songs and prayers, but at the same time it allows variety through changing texts.
A Handbook of Church Music (p. 129)

The Divine Service consists of two main elements: the Ordinary and the Propers. The Ordinary consists of those parts that do not change but become the framework for the congregation, such as the Kyrie, Hymn of Praise, Creed, Preface, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. Those items that change from week to week or by season are known as the Propers of the day, such as the Scripture readings, the Collect, Introit, Psalm of the Day, Gradual, Gospel Acclamation (Verse), Proper Preface, hymns, and even the sermon. Because these elements change on a weekly basis, the church choir or cantors is often assigned the responsibility of preparation and presentation.

Concordia Publishing House through Acclamation provides fresh musical settings of the Propers (Introit, Psalm of the Day, Gospel Acclamation, Gradual, and Hymn of the Day stanza) for choirs and congregations. These settings will be available electronically through the Web for purchase on weekly, quarterly, or annual subscription. Acclamation supports both the three-year and the one-year lectionaries.

Each component will be based on the ESV translation of Scripture as used in LSB. The music will be easy to learn for both the choir/cantor and the congregation.
