Second Sunday in Lent | Choral Evensong on February 25, 2024

This week's service includes settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimitis by George Dyson (Evening Service in F), Preces and Responses by Richard Ayleward, Vestry Prayer by Gerre Hancock and O Lord, The Maker of All Thing by William Mundy.

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.
