5:00 PM March Choral Evensong

Location: St. Peter's Episcopal Church | MO, 110 North Warson Road, Saint Louis, MO US 63124

All are invited to Choral Evensong in the holy season of Lent. This service will be sung Sunday, March 9, at 5:00 p.m.

Evensong is a traditional Anglican service of scripture, prayer, and music, led by the St. Peter’s Singers. This service includes music by Kenneth Leighton and John Joubert.


The canticles for this service will be the Second Service by English composer Kenneth Leighton (1929–1988). Leighton's inimitable blend of wrenching counterpoint and kinetic excitement make this set an excellent addition to our Evensong repertoire.  Of interesting note, the registration instruction Leighton gives the organist in this score is the 8' strings and the 4' flute–unique in the Anglican repertoire!
