It is the music which gives life to the words.

I love to go to St. Anne's (I live around 30 miles away from it) on Fridays for evensong, it's a beautiful way to end the week.

Whew! That Haydn anthem was complex. And very well done.

An excellent and thoroughly Scriptural heritage - the C of E would do well to regain it.
