This is a wonderful recording of evensong in Canterbury Cathedral from November 1965.
Were you one of the choristers then?
This historic recording has been digitally re-mastered and cleaned up.
I've uploaded it to the website in order for you to help me identify the choral works included in the service.
If you recognise any of the music, please leave that information in the comments below.
Many thanks

  • My suggestions of what the music is:
    Smith Responses
    Psalm 89 with chants by Hopkins and Mornington
    The canticles I don’t know, but based on his psalm settings, I’d guess they are by Ridout.
    Anthem is Berkeley: Thou hast made me
    Hymn: Lord, thy word abideth

    QJé composer

    Hi I'm QJ - a composer of music and sonic art.
    My music is mostly dark, cold and unsettling.
    A theme park full of intense, scary rides, and sonic thrills.

    It's sometimes about social issues I feel strongly about.
    It's designed to elicit emotional responses.

    I hope you enjoy some of it.
    Please do leave your comment: I want to learn about how you react to music - especially mine (even if it makes you uncomfortable).

    Enjoy the roller-coaster! ... and big thanks.
