Rest easy after the peace-inducing services of Evensong and Benediction on Sunday, February 28, at 4:00 p.m.
A 470-year-old Anglican tradition, Evensong is so-named for the ‘song’ of voices heard at the ‘even’ point between the active day and restful night, allowing listeners time for restful contemplation. Musical selections include Thomas Morley’s fauxbourdon settings of the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis; one of Robert White’s settings of Christe, qui lux es et dies newly-arranged for the occasion; and the 44th setting from 50 Elevations for Organ on Modal Themes by Dom Paul Benoit, O.S.B. Music director Mx. Daniel Koplitz and organist Mr. Lee Erickson will be joined by choral scholar Ms. Kendra Kabara, whose biography is listed below.
A service of Benediction immediately follows Evensong. At this service, the blessed host of the Eucharist is placed in the presence of the people in a monstrance. The service reminds us that Christ is present in the sacrament of the altar and as such, present in our world. Prayer is offered, and we are reminded of the Grace conferred in the Eucharist.
