Evensong sung by Men & Boys Choir
Directed by Nick Halley
Capella Regalis Men & Boys Choir will sing Choral Evensong this Sunday, as part of the 'Sundays at Four' series at the Cathedral Church of All Saints, with organist Paul Halley.
All are welcome to attend this free, one-hour service of music and readings.
"Whatever we may believe, choral evensong is a beautiful tradition just waiting to be experienced that can give respite and inspiration during our busy modern lives."
- Guy Hayward, Founder of Choral Evensong Trust (2022)
Music Notes
The Introit is the Dutch carol, “This Joyful Eastertide” arranged by Charles Wood. The Canticles are by Henry Purcell (1659-1695), the most famous English composer of his time. Since the Cathedral commemorates the ‘Battle of the Atlantic’ on this day, the Anthem is Herbert Sumsion’s very effective setting of the psalm text “They That Go Down To The Sea In Ships”.
