Flagging up that Compline is being broadcast on Sunday evenings during Lent. So far at 22.00. -
Lent 5 from Tetbury, sung by St Martin’s Voices, was beautifully done with an excellent choice of music. Highly recommended.Leave a comment:

The Lenten compline services have been calm and moving. Introduced to the choral music of Amy Beach which is very beautiful.Leave a comment:

It's starting tonight, for Lent.Originally posted by jonfan View Post
Agree with everything!
The whole had a lovely intimate atmosphere with an excellent cantor. Good to hear Compline returns next year.

It was effective, and I liked the way all the music fitted together to give a unified whole, as I wasn't sure what to expect; although I like what I have heard of Anna Thorvaldsdottir, the others were an unknown quantity. In the event, I found it a lovely contemplative way to round off a Sunday evening and prepare for the night's rest - as it should be arguably?Originally posted by Finzi4ever View PostLeave a comment:

...very approachable (I'm not 'damning with faint praise'), and and no less effective for it.Originally posted by oddoneout View PostLeave a comment:

More Lucy Walker I see. I didn't hear last week's Compline; although I had intended to I dozed off unfortunately, due to a sleepless night, so don't know what her music is like.Leave a comment:
