Fourth Sunday in Easter | Choral Evensong on April 26, 2026

This week's service includes settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by Herbert Brewer (Evening Service in D), Preces and Responses by John Barnard, We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace by Moses Hogan and Let the People Praise Thee, O God by William Mathias. Sung at the close of day in cathedrals and churches throughout the world, Choral Evensong is a service of Evening Prayer, derived from the ancient offices of Vespers and Compline. The choir sings the traditional evening prayers of the church that have been offered for centuries, while the congregation listens, joins in the hymns, and adds their own prayers to those of the choir. It is an opportunity for peaceful meditation before the start of a busy week.
