Evensong at St Michael and All Angels

---

Chamber Choir sang their first evensong of the year on Tuesday this week at St Michael and All Angels, Wallington, directed by Mr Tristan Weymes.

Evensong is a quiet, meditative service, with a considerable amount of music for the choir to sing. For this service, the music included Stanford's Evening Service in C, and Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine. Chamber Choir has mastered the challenges of singing responses and a psalm set to Anglican chant, and the service finished with a rousing rendition of I Vow To Thee My Country to mark this week of Remembrance.

For many in the choir, this was their first evensong service, and they sang and conducted themselves brilliantly.

We were very pleased to see so many parents in attendance and we are very grateful for their support.

The whole school choir can be heard at the Carol Service at Croydon Minster on Monday, 14 December; the next evensong service will be at Southwark Cathedral next term.
