Our last service of Choral Evensong for this season, at 5 pm on April 24, the Second Sunday of Easter, will offer the Service in C, known as the “Latin American” service, of the British composer Bryan Kelly (b. 1934).

After an organ prelude at 4:45 p.m., the service begins with Hymn 212, “Awake, arise, lift up your voice.” The Responses are by Thomas Foster and the Anthem is Harold Friedell’s “Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life.” The concluding hymn is 457, “Thou art the Way, to thee alone.”

Kelly’s service incorporates Latin American rhythms with the familiar words of the Magnificat and the Nunc dimittis. Listen to the service here as sung by the Guildford Cathedral Choir. Kelly’s compositions range from light orchestral music and works for brass band to more serious and extended orchestral works as well as church music.

The Cathedral Chamber Choir will sing. Dwight Thomas is music director and organist. A freewill offering is taken. You may attend live or listen to the livestream at spcathedral.org/worshiplive-stream.
