Choral Evensong
Our choir has been learning a beautiful new set of Preces & Responses by late Rennaissance English composer Richard Ayleward (1626-1669). They will also sing a Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis by Caleb Simper (1856-1942). The anthem is Teach Me O Lord, by David Hurd, who is widely recognized and admired as one of the foremost concert organists, sacred music composers, and church musicians in the US. He is Organist and Choirmaster of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in New York City and remains a greatly sought-after composer of hymns, choral works, and organ works.
