This sung service of Evening Prayer, based on the order found in the Canadian Book of Common Prayer (1962), Evensong is a peaceful and meditative church service in the Anglican tradition. It is rooted in the monastic tradition and invites worshippers to reflect and find spiritual stillness through the beauty of words and choral music.
