Choral Eucharist – Pentecost

St Bride's doors are closed due to the coronavirus outbreak. This service of Choral Eucharist for Pentecost, on Sunday 31st May, has been collated from archive live recordings together with specially recorded prayers, sermon and readings for the appointed day. This service is sung by our professional St Bride's Choir. Setting: Messe solennelle – Langlais Canticle: Jubilate in C – Ireland Sermon: The Revd Dr Jeff Lake Anthem: Loquebantur variis linguis – Tallis Voluntary: Choral varié sur le 'Veni creator' – Duruflé Jean Langlais' spectacular Messe solennelle is the mass setting and surely the composer's finest piece of church music. Thomas Tallis' anthem masterfully tells of the coming of the Holy Spirit, intricately weaving seven voices together before each section ends with a resolute Alleluia.
