  • Choral Evensong
    CHORAL EVENSONG 5:00 P.M. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2017 THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY CHRIST CHURCH 118 N. Washington St. Alexandria, VA 22314 www.HistoricChristChurch.org CHORAL EVENSONG is the service of Evening Prayer with choral music. It is sung in cathedrals with choral foundations on a more or less daily basis, and in many parish churches around the world. The Prayer Book of 1662 established the pattern for Choral Evensong which remains in common usage throughout the worldwide Anglican Communion. Since the earliest Christian times, the need to mark the passing of time with prayer has been recognized. The monastic cycle of prayer began in the desert with Anthony in the fourth century and continues to this day. By the Reformation, Vespers had become an elaborate musical celebration in the evening. The English Reformation demanded that the vernacular be the language of worship and resulted in the liturgical simplicity of Thomas Cranmer’s services of Morning and Evening Prayer. The provision of music for this structure and these words was the task of men like Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, and Tomkins, whose creativity laid the foundations of Anglican choral worship. Choral Evensong is the quintessence of such worship. The canon of music for Evensong continues to grow, with composers from around the world contributing to it. Unlike the Eucharist, which follows the movement of the Church calendar, and unlike private prayer, which follows the events of our lives, the daily office follows its own rhythm. The readings are done “in course,” and are not specifically chosen to make a particular point, and the canticles (Magnificat and Nunc dimittis) are the same each day.

  • Gloucester Cathedral Lay Clerks
    GLOUCESTER CATHEDRAL ORGAN SCHOLARSHIP The Dean & Chapter of Gloucester Cathedral annually seek to appoint an organ scholar for each academic year. He/She will play a key role in the Cathedral music department, working closely with Adrian Partington (Director of Music), Jonathan Hope (Assistant Director of Music), Nia Llewelyn Jones (Singing Development Leader) and Helen Sims (Music Department Manager). The organ scholarship is open to recent graduates or to gap-year applicants of exceptional ability. Duties The organ scholar plays for Evensong every Tuesday, and in addition plays the organ or directs the choirs as necessary when the DoM or the ADoM is away. He/She will also play for many of the special services which take place in the Cathedral, for which additional fees are paid (see remuneration details below). The organ scholar is fully involved with the training of choristers and probationers and the teaching of theory and general musicianship. They will also be expected to help with the general administration of the music department, attending a weekly meeting and assisting other members of the department in the music office. Gloucester Cathedral Choir Today’s choir is the successor to the boys and monks of the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter, who sang for daily worship nine centuries ago. The choir of today stems from that established by Henry VIII in 1539, consisting of 18 choristers (who receive generous scholarships to attend the neighbouring King’s School), 12 lay clerks and choral scholars. The choir plays a major part in the internationally renowned Three Choirs Festival, the world’s oldest Music Festival, which dates back to 1715.

  • Service of Choral Evensong with Darien, Greenwich Church Choirs Coming to St Luke's
    Darienite News for Darien https://darienite.com Service of Choral Evensong with Darien, Greenwich Church Choirs Coming to St Luke's Author : David Gurliacci Categories : Churches, Music, Weekend Events Tagged as : Evensong 2017, St Luke's Choir 2017, St. Luke's Church 2017, St. Luke's Parish 2017 Date : October 22, 2017 The Choirs of Saint Luke’s Parish in Darien, and Christ Church in Greenwich will sing a service of Choral Evensong on Saturday, Nov. 18 at 5 p.m. at Saint Luke’s. The service will be the first joint effort between the two Episcopal parishes in recent memory. It is being conducted by Jamie Hitel (director of music at Christ Church) and David Pulliam, (director of music and organist at Saint Luke’s). ____________ — an announcement from St. Luke's Parish ____________ The service, held in the historic Saint Luke’s Parish church at 1864 Boston Post Road, is open to everyone. A wine and cheese reception will follow. Evensong, one of the great liturgical legacies of Henry VIII and most cherished of Episcopal services, has its origins in the ancient monastic (and before then, Jewish), tradition of marking the day with specific times of prayer. 1 / 2 Darienite News for Darien https://darienite.com When the Church of England severed its Roman ties, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer (1489—1556) condensed several traditional monastic services into Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer, called Matins and Evensong when sung. The choirs will perform works of composers Bernard Rose and Herbert Murrill and the monumental anthem “They that go down to the sea in ships” by English composer Herbert Sumsion, who served Gloucester Cathedral as organist for nearly forty years.

    T B s r e i d g a g e m m I a n n a I m m e g a g d i e r s B Charles Villiers Stanford Herbert Howells 2 This recording is a choral tribute to the sacred music of two visionary composers who, among their other achievements, made distinctive, lasting and much-cherished contributions to the musical repertory of the English Church. There are many links between Charles Villiers Stanford (1852–1924) and Herbert Howells (1892–1983), the most obvious being that from 1912 to 1916 Howells was one of Stanford’s many composition students at the Royal College of Music in London, where Howells was himself later to teach composition for over fifty years. Both men were outstanding teachers, Stanford in particular being virtually father to a whole generation of British composers, including Vaughan Williams, Holst, Bridge, Moeran, Bliss, Ireland and Gurney. For a time, both held organist’s posts at Cambridge—Stanford at Trinity College and Howells as wartime replacement for Robin Orr at St John’s. Both were active in other areas of music, Stanford mainly as a conductor, Howells more as an adjudicator and examiner. Both were prolific and formidably accomplished composers in many genres, but are remembered chiefly for their vocal and choral music; and here perhaps lies the secret of their enduring appeal. In the best work of both composers there is an indefinable sense of poetry: the poetry of a text sensitively set to music, or simply the poetry of music itself, whether evoking the Irish landscape of Stanford’s youth, the gentle hills and soaring cathedral of Howells’s native Gloucestershire, or just the ‘other world’ of the imagination.

  • Christ Church Cathedral Dublin
    CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL DUBLIN Thursday 7 November 2019 18.00 Choral Evensong Sung by the Cathedral Choir Cathedral Choral Evensong is essentially a service of reflection—of leaving ourselves open that God may speak to us through the psalms, readings and canticles, which are the core of the service. We welcome you to share with us in worship that has been offered here for nearly a thousand years. Cathedrals with a great choral tradition draw upon a rich inheritance of music, much of it sung by the choir alone. In the Anglican tradition this music finds its natural setting in the office of Evensong, a combination of the medieval offices of Vespers and Compline. Here beauty in language and music can speak to us of God in a rich and diverse way. Within this hallowed space you may forget the ceaseless activity of daily life and be still. The choice of scripture readings is from the ecumenical lectionary now in use in the Church of Ireland, reading though the different books of the Bible, little by little, day by day. Today’s readings will be continued tomorrow. There are no announcements during services. Please join strongly in all spoken parts and in the singing of hymns (where these are appointed). To aid reflection you are invited to sit during the singing of the psalm(s) and the canticles. Please stand when the choir and clergy enter. PRECES Herbert Sumsion (1899–1995) Cantor O Lord, open thou our lips; Choir and our mouth shall shew forth thy praise, Cantor O God, make speed to save us; Choir O Lord, make haste to help us.
