Choral Evensong – Trinity II

Services at St Bride's are restricted due to the Covid-19 outbreak. This service of Choral Eucharist for the Second Sunday after Trinity, 21st June, has been collated from archive live music recordings together with prayers, sermon and readings for the appointed day specially recorded in church and in people's homes. This service is sung by our professional St Bride's Choir. Responses: Shephard Psalm: 46 Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis: Second Evening Service – Leighton Anthem: Greater love hath no man – Ireland Sermon: The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce Voluntary: Toccata Giocosa – Mathias The anthem, "Greater love hath no man", was written by John Ireland in 1912 as a Passiontide meditation; however, the flood of casualties which followed the outbreak of WWI in 1914, gave its text a special resonance: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
