Warning about Evensong
I know that many of you lovers of excellent music (or even just some of you) will be extremely concerned as to whether Digg will feature a community dedicated exclusively to Choral Evensong.
I want you all to rest assured that, as soon as community creation is allowed on Digg, /evensong shall be created; so that the tens of existing reddit subscribers can find a new home to share their love of this finest of musical expressions.
I know it’s concerning to think that a community can exist such as /music and NOT have discussion of choral evensong - I see you nodding sagely up the back there - but this must and shall be rectified as soon as possible.
In the meantime, to tide you over with anticipation, you will be relieved to know that Westminster Abbey has recently started irregular streams of Choral Evensong, (and occasionally Matins and Eucharists); and so here is a recent stream of the Choir of Westminster Abbey, combined with the girls of St Margaret’s next door, celebrating the dedication of the Abbey in a very fine performance of:
Introit: Bruckner - Locus iste
Responses: Leighton
Canticles: Dyson in D
Anthem: Bairstow - Blessed city, heavenly Salem
