Choral Evensong

This year we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the death of Herbert Howells. A prolific British organist and composer, he is best known for his evening canticle settings (songs of Mary and Simeon from the Gospel of Luke),  most of which he wrote for specific churches (and were subsequently named after them). Vespersong will be presenting one of his lesser-known, unnamed canticles from 1941.
