Transcript of Choral Evensong at Malmesbury Abbey
C H O R A L E V E N S O N G 2 0 1 5
Our monthly 6.30pm Choral Evensong at Malmesbury Abbey brings together some of the most beautiful choral music ever written, the ancient liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer and the words of the King James Version of the Bible; all in the peace and tranquillity of an iconic 12th century abbey. Throughout 2015, at most Evensongs, Malmesbury Abbey Choir will be exploring some of the finest choral settings of the Psalms. Via the early church and the monastic traditions, the Hebrew Psalter has passed into the very heart of the worshipping life of the Church of England. This year we listen to Allegri, Purcell, Stanford, Finzi and many others as they bring to life the ancient and inspiring words of God’s people. 11th January The Epiphany
