Hymns and Music
Hymns are a vital part of the worship of Exclusive Brethren. Most branches of Exclusive Brethren use one of the many editions of the Little Flock Hymn Book. All editions come from the same source: J.N.Darby's hymnbook of 1881 which drew on earlier work by George V. Wigram.
Most singing is a capella though some meetings might use an organ or piano in the gospel preaching or for ministry meetings.
A recording of singing at Park Street (Raven/Taylor/Hales Brethren) can be found on open source audio
