Virtual Conversation: Processions, Preces, and Prayers

Processions, Preces, and Prayers

Sunday, October 11 at 1:30 p.m.

This virtual conversation in the Living Tradition series, held Sunday, October 11 at 1:30 p.m., explores three particular elements of Anglican worship, especially as they are practiced at the service of Choral Evensong.

Meeting ID: 842 6395 4327
Passcode: 605772
 
Together with special guest Dr. Robert Lehman (Organist and Choirmaster at the Church of St. Michael & St. George, St. Louis) we'll talk about Processions, Preces, and Prayers:
 
  • Processions - are they more than just "getting from point A to point B"? 
  • Preces - these traditional prayers for Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer are often sung. We will hear Robert Lehman's unique perspective on these words as a composer who has set them to music multiple times.
  • PrayerWe will reflect on the nature of liturgical music as prayer as well as the relationship that other spoken prayers have to the experience of the liturgy.
