Choral Evensong Peruttu

Suomeksi:

Choral Evensong on monipuolisen kuoromusiikin siivittämä iltahartaus. Se on keskeinen osa anglikaanista kirkollista perinnettä. Tule rauhoittumaan musiikin ja raamatuntekstien ympärille rakentuvassa juhlallisessa ja hartaassa tunnelmassa.

Tammikuun hartaudessa kuullaan säveltäjä Charles Woodin (1866-1926) Magnificat ja Nunc dimittis Es-duurissa sekä Preces ja Responses säveltäjä William Byrdiltä (1543-1623).

St Nicholas Chamber Choir johtajanaan Erik Johannes Riekko. Matti Vaakanainen, urut.

In English:

A distinctive feature of the Anglican tradition, Choral Evensong is a solemn and prayerful service of chant, larger choral works written to specific texts which are included in every service (such as the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis), hymns, and biblical readings. As is customary, much of the service is sung by the choir alone. The congregation is invited to immerse themselves in the meditative atmosphere and sublime sound aesthetic of the music sung by the choir thereby instilling a silent, reflective, and profoundly personal offering of praise.

On the January Evensong service the programme will be Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in E-flat Major by Charles Wood (1866-1926) and Preces and Responses by William Byrd (1543-1623).

St Nicholas Chamber Choir conducted by Erik Johannes Riekko. Matti Vaakanainen, organist.
