DESCRIPTION:Conclude your day with this service of sung evening prayer offe
 red by the Cathedral Choir. This blend of Psalms\, prayers and hymns showc
 ases the best of our Anglican choral tradition. Available both in-person a
 nd online. \n \nAbout Choral Evensong\nThe origins of Choral Evensong go
  back many centuries\, and have their roots in the ancient patterns of mon
 astic worship\, which were based on the regular singing of all 150 psalms 
 and the systematic reading of the Bible. Brief services\, or offices\, wer
 e said or sung throughout the day and night\, in accordance with St. Paul
 ’s instruction to ‘pray without ceasing’\, so that the whole of the 
 daily routine of monks and nuns could be sanctified and offered to God. In
  the aftermath of the Reformation in England\, the first Book of Common Pr
 ayer (published in 1549) combined elements from a number of the monastic o
 ffices to form the dual services of Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer\, or
  Evensong. Each has as its central feature the recitation or singing of th
 e Psalms\; readings from Scripture\; and prayers for the Church\, the worl
 d\, and those in need. Both services have fixed songs or canticles associa
 ted with them\, including the Magnificat (the Song of Mary from St. Luke
 ’s Gospel) and the Nunc dimittis (the Song of Simeon from St. Luke’s G
 ospel) at Evensong. This format was formalized in The Book of Common Praye
 r 1662 and has remained largely unchanged ever since.
