AI and the Church Summit | Choral Evensong on August 13, 2024
This special midweek service held during the AI and the Church summit convened at Epiphany Parish includes settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by Carson Cooman (St. Peter's Cambridge Service), Preces and Responses by John Barnard, Prayer of King Henry VI by Henry Ley and Geistliches Lied by Johannes Brahms.
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.
