Palm Sunday | Choral Evensong on April 13, 2025

This week's service includes settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by Grayston Ives (Edington Service), Preces and Responses by Philip Moore, Motet for Passion Sunday by Frank Ferko, and It Is a Thing Most Wonderful by Philip Moore.

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.
