Sunday 5 April is the first Sunday of the month, which means the Choir of St. John’s Shaughnessy will offer the traditional Anglican service of Choral Evensong. They will be joined by singers from Christ Church Cathedral, St James Anglican Church, and MOTET to celebrate the greatest feast day of the Christian liturgical year.
This month’s music list:
Introit: Samuel Scheidt, Surrexit Christus hodie
Responses: Bernard Rose
Psalm 113: Stanley Vann
Canticles: Charles V Stanford, Evening Service in G, Op.81
Anthem: Charles V Stanford, Ye choirs of new Jerusalem
Voluntary: Louis Vierne, ‘Final’ from Symphony No.1
Though many churches are busy with Holy Week services, the celebration of the Resurrection at Easter merits the greatest outpouring of praise and thanksgiving. Come hear combined choirs singing Stanford’s powerful Ye choirs of new Jerusalem and the organ sounding the brilliant and celebratory Final of Vierne’s Organ Symphony at the apex of your Easter experience. Find hope and joy even amidst the terrors of this world, and find strength in words spoken across millennia still giving us purpose today.
