Evensong at Epiphany

The First Sunday of Advent | Choral Evensong on December 1, 2024


Listen Later

This week's service includes settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by William Byrd (Second Service), Preces and Responses by Richard Ayleward, E'en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come by Paul Manz, and Vigilate by William Byrd.

Sung at the close of day in cathedrals and churches throughout the world, Choral Evensong is a service of Evening Prayer, derived from the ancient offices of Vespers and Compline. The choir sings the traditional evening prayers of the church that have been offered for centuries, while the congregation listens, joins in the hymns, and adds their own prayers to those of the choir. It is an opportunity for peaceful meditation before the start of a busy week.
