Public worship at St Bride's is restricted due to the Covid-19 outbreak. This service of Choral Evensong for the Ninth Sunday after Trinity, 9th August, has been collated from archive live music recordings together with prayers, sermon and readings for the appointed day specially recorded in church and in people's homes.
This service is sung by our professional St Bride's Choir.
Responses: Reading
Psalm: 86
Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis: Evening Service in F – Wise
Sermon in Music: Ascribe unto the Lord – Travers
Organ Voluntary: Voluntary in C – Blow
Our extended anthem, which replaces the sermon, was composed by John Travers. Born the son of a Windsor shoemaker in 1703, Travers began his musical training as a chorister at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, before eventually being appointed Organist to the Chapel Royal. "Ascribe unto the Lord" is a setting of verses from Psalm 96 with virtuosic, florid solos for tenor and bass.
