Evensong in Worcester Cathedral
12 July 2018
Earlier this week, over sixty members of the choir visited Worcester
Cathedral to sing Choral Evensong. Repeating the programme of music
we performed at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, earlier in the year,
the choir sang a set of Responses, composed by our Director of Music
for last year’s Diocesan Choral Festival in Peterborough Cathedral,
a setting of the Evening Canticles in C by Bryan Kelly, and the
extraordinary setting of Psalm 117 by Marcel Dupré, Laudate
Dominum. The Psalms were sung to chants by composers with
associations to Worcester, including one lovely chant by Sir Edward
Elgar.

It has been the choir’s ambition to add Worcester Cathedral to
the ever-increasing list of English Cathedrals where we have sung
Choral Evensong, as in 2008 a new Cathedral organ of 57 stops over
four manuals and pedals as installed by Northampton organ building
firm
Kenneth Tickell and Company.
