The Choral Tradition Rick Koster, The Day Arts Writer
"Despite its rich tradition as a religious rite dating back to the 16th century, Choral Evensong has broadened into an artful presentation that appeals to folks of any spiritual (or non-spiritual) persuasion — though functioning ears help." "Basically, Choral Evensong takes place in afternoon or twilight and comprises readings from the Book of Common Prayer and the sung Anglican liturgy in cathedrals or chapels. But the clustered harmonies and beauty of the music and prayer have become renowned for the sheer artistic aesthetics of the event — as opposed to being a strictly religious phenomenon." |
