As part of the celebrations on September 22nd neighbouring churches are invited to celebrate with Holy Trinity Church in worship. At 3pm a ‘Come and Sing Evensong’ workshop will take place, followed by a service. Evensong has not been sung at Holy Trinity for over 30 years but was once a key element of the church’s musical worship and Holy Trinity was once renowned for its choral singing. Holy Trinity wish to recognise their musical heritage and recreate something of it to mark this special birthday. You are invited to join with them to explore the origins of this service and the changing patterns of church worship. We’ll discover (or rediscover!) how to sing Anglican chant and the beautiful responses of the Book of Common Prayer before holding a service of Evensong at 4.30pm. No previous musical experience is required. Alternatively, you may wish to just come and enjoy the rich music and liturgical language in the service. Refreshments will be provided afterwards.
This event is part of a range of activities happening over the weekend as part of this year’s Heritage Open Days.
