The Baptism of Our Lord | Choral Evensong on January 11, 2026

** This is a special service sung along with the choir of St. Luke's Memorial Episcopal at their church in Tacoma. This week's service includes settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by Thomas Tertius Noble (Evening Service in B Minor), Preces and Responses by Maxine Thevenot, Jesus, so lowly by Harold Friedell and Vidi Aquam by Marty Wheeler Burnett. 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.
