  • Choral Evensong Feast of Christ the King
    ST EDMUND HALL Choral Evensong Feast of Christ the King ‘Striving for the Kingdom’ Speaker: The Chaplain 22 November 2020 6.30 pm What is Evensong? Evensong is one of the Church of England’s ancient services. It provides an open and generous space for quiet and reflection, for song and speech and prayer, as it draws from biblical readings, canticles, and the Church’s long tradition of hymns. All are welcome. Many have said, “Prayer is the key to the day and the lock to the night.” In the Anglican tradition, daily prayer is set at morning and evening for precisely this purpose: to give the opportunity to greet each new day as a divine gift and to prepare our hearts and minds for rest each night. It is founded in a sense of gratitude and wonder, and centred on the faith of Jesus Christ. We invite everyone to join in, as they are able, by listening attentively to the choir, readers, and ministers, and by saying together with us those prayers that are marked in bold: the Lord’s Prayer, the Grace, and the Amens. This year, we are meeting in many locations, not just in the Chapel. Space is primarily limited to the choir and readers. Those who cannot join us in person may do so by Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87112377996?pwd=bm9zMWZreEl4M1RiK2to OXNvNW9aZz09 Speaker The Revd Dr Zachary Guiliano is Chaplain and Career Development Fellow in Early Medieval History at St Edmund Hall. A former journalist, he is the author of various articles, essays, and reviews and the editor of two volumes in the series Studies in Episcopal and Anglican Theology.

  • Evensong Celebrating the Feast of the Dedication of Westminster Abbey in the Presence of the Lord Mayor of Westminster and the Mayors of the London Boroughs
    Westminster Abbey Evensong celebrating the Feast of the Dedication of Westminster Abbey in the presence of The Lord Mayor of Westminster and the Mayors of the London Boroughs The London Mayors’ Association Sunday 20 th October 2013 3.00 pm THE LONDON MAYORS’ ASSOCIATION HISTORICAL NOTE On 4 th December 1900, the then Mayor of the City of Westminster, His Grace the Duke of Norfolk KG , called together a meeting of all the Mayors of the Metropolitan Boroughs (the inner London Boroughs), the object being to discuss matters of ceremonial procedure with a view to uniformity being adopted by all the Mayors of the Metropolitan Boroughs. Subsequently, in early 1901, the Metropolitan Mayors’ and Ex-Mayors’ Association was formed by the Mayor of Westminster with the purpose of promoting discussion of general matters affecting the Metropolis and to enable Mayors and former Mayors to meet on a social basis. In 1965 with the re-organisation of Local Government in London, the Mayors and former Mayors of all thirty-one Boroughs were entitled to join as were the Lord Mayors and former Lord Mayors of the City of London and of the City of Westminster. Under the revised constitution of the Association the Lord Mayor of Westminster is now automatically the President. A former Mayor or Lord Mayor is however elected as Chairman of the Association. The Association comprises over 700 members and is non-party political. It arranges a variety of events throughout the year including this annual service in Westminster Abbey; a walk following the footsteps of Dick Whittington, a former Lord Mayor of London, from Highgate Hill to the Mansion House; a visit to a foreign capital city; lunches for visiting Mayors from abroad and dinners for Ambassadors and High Commissioners to the Court of St James as well as an Annual Gala Dinner.

  • Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 P.M
    OUR VISION: A world where people experience God’s love and are made whole. OUR MISSION: To share the love of Jesus through compassion, inclusivity, creativity and learning. Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 p.m. Evensong Thursday in the Eleventh Week after Pentecost • 9 August 2018 • 5:15 pm Welcome to Grace Cathedral. Choral Evensong marks the end of the working day and prepares for the approaching night. The roots of this service come out of ancient monastic traditions of Christian prayer. In this form, it was created by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 16th century, as part of the simplification of services within the newly-reformed Church of England. The Episcopal Church, as part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, has inherited this pattern of evening prayer. In this service we are invited to reflect on the business of the past day, to pray for the world and for ourselves, and to commend all into God’s hands as words of Holy Scripture are said and sung. The beauty of the music is offered to help us set our lives in the light of eternity; the same light which dwelt among us in Jesus, and which now illuminates us by the Spirit. May this service be a blessing to you. Voluntary Canzonetta William Mathias The people stand as the procession enters. The Invitatory and Psalter Opening Sentence Said by the officiant. Preces John Rutter Officiant O Lord, open thou our lips. Choir And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. O God, make speed to save us.

  • Since You Asked... I Hear That Choral Evensong Is Being Revived in Some
    Since you asked... William Wunsch, organist and choirmaster at St. Nicholas Church in Encino, Calif., who also serves as the editor of The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians and was the editor of Wonder, Love, and Praise a supplement to The Hymnal 1982, responds: I hear that Choral Evensong is being revived in some Episcopal parishes. What is the history of Choral Evensong and its significance today? The Canonical Hours are daily times of prayer, historically offered in an orderly course eight times each day. As services apart from the Eucharist, these Daily Offices include psalms, canticles, antiphons, responsories, hymns, versicles and responses, readings, and prayers. Since 1549, with the first prayer book of the Anglican Communion, this cycle of eight offerings of daily prayer has been simplified and telescoped to form liturgies called Morning and Evening Prayer, or Matins and Evensong. This corporate worship, offered twice a day, includes the recitation of psalms, the reading of Scripture, the singing of canticles and prayer. A hymn may be sung after the collects. Choral Evensong is sung Evening Prayer; the choir sings the preces and responses, the psalmody, the canticles (Magnificat and Nunc dimittis) and an anthem while the congregation participates vicariously -- listening attentively to the choir’s and precentor’s offering of music and to the proclamation of the Scriptures. In the Daily Office, the church offers perpetual praise, thanksgiving and prayer to God. Time is sanctified by this continuous offering. In the Baptismal Covenant, we promise, with God’s help, to continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in these prayers.

  • Order of Service Together with Details of the Music and Readings
    Westminster Abbey Evensong in the presence of His All-Holiness Bartholomew I Archbishop of Constantinople-New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch and The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Justin Welby Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of All England and Metropolitan Tuesday 3rd November 2015 5.00 pm Welcome to Westminster Abbey. Daily prayer has been offered in this place for over a thousand years and your participation in today’s service is warmly welcomed. At Choral Evensong most of the service is sung by the choir on our behalf. We participate through our presence and our listening, that the words and the music might become a prayer within us and lift us to contemplate God’s beauty and glory. The service always includes one or more psalms. These ancient prayers, taken from the Old Testament, reflect the full range of human emotions and experiences; from the depths of anger, resentment, and abandonment to the heights of ecstatic joy and praise. They were used by Jesus, and have always been at the heart of the Church’s daily prayer. The Magnificat and Nunc dimittis, taken from the early chapters of St Luke’s gospel, reflect two responses to the Incarnation (God becoming fully human in Jesus Christ). Both speak of the fulfilment of God’s promises, not just to ‘Abraham and his seed’, but also ‘to be a light to lighten the Gentiles’ (all nations). With their themes of fulfilment and completion, these texts have been given central place for many centuries in the Church’s prayers for the evening and at the end of the day.
