'High' Evening Service

Richard Farrant's 'High' Evening Service offers a noble setting for Evensong, a traditional part of the daily office in the Anglican tradition. Sung by a SATB choir, this sacred setting in English would suit a parish church or cathedral service, particularly during ordinary time. Its familiar structure and devotional character provide a contemplative atmosphere for the close of the day. The music, though written in an older style, retains a direct and heartfelt appeal, making it a worthy addition to the repertoire for services seeking a blend of tradition and musical richness. Its enduring presence speaks to its effectiveness in fulfilling the liturgical needs of the Church.
