Choral Evensong

This past Sunday afternoon at St. Dunstan's, the choir performed at A Service of  Choral Evensong.  After the organ voluntary by guest organist, Steven Schneider, the choir sang When Rooks Fly Homeward while they were still in the narthex.

Introduced at Advent Lessons & Carols last fall, the choir reprised Magnifcat, composed by parishioner John Morgan.

As part of our 50th Anniversary celebration, John also wrote Nunc dimittis, which was premiered at this service. Both pieces are very powerful, and St. Dunstan's is grateful for John's talents.

The anthem, Hide Me Under the Shadow of Your Wings, by Sam Batt Owens, was also sung as part of the service.

If you weren't able to make it to the service (or even if you were), here's a chance to listen to some of the music sung that day:

As always, we are grateful to Steven Schneider for his talent at the keyboard.. We are also grateful to guests, John Caponegro, Kelly Shaw, and Sallie van Houten, for their vocal talents.
