Join us on Trinity Sunday, June 15, 2025 at 4pm for Evening Prayer according to the Book of Alternative Services in the form of Organ Vespers.
Neil Cockburn, Director of Music will be joined by trumpeter Katherine Evans to enhance the words of the liturgy by playing repertoire for trumpet and organ music inspired by the readings of the day in a format we've named "Organ Vespers."
The repertoire includes Joseph Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major, Hob VII e, 1 (1796)
Scripture:
Psalm 111
Job 38: 1-11, 42: 1-5
John 1: 1-18
All of our 4pm Sunday services follow a familiar service format: either Choral Evensong according to the Book of Common Prayer, or Evening Prayer from the Book of Alternative Services. There are versicles and responses ("O God make speed to save us," or "O Lord, I call to you; come to me quickly"), readings from scripture - including psalms, canticles (e.g. the Magnificat), an affirmation of faith (usually one of the creeds), intercessions, and the Lord's Prayer. Week by week, we build the music around this familiar, repeating structure, according to one of the genres or styles in our rota.
Incense is used at all Sundays@4 services.
