We are delighted that this service has two new pieces of music. We have the first performance of a new setting of the Verses and Responses for Evensong by Judith Ward. We also have a new psalm chant by Artie Hair, a member of the choir and student of Life Sciences.
The Introit is ‘Ascendo ad patrem’ by Sr Sulpitia Lodovica Cesis written in 1619. Our Ascension Eve service concludes with Gerald Finzi’s 1951 anthem ‘God is Gone up.’
Evensong is open to all members of the College, the RCA and RCM, alumni, and the public. The service happens every two weeks in term-time.Ìý You can engage with the service in your own way.Ìý We know that people of different faith traditions and world views find Choral Evensong a welcoming meditative time.Ìý
