Evensong for All Saints' Day

  • Saint James' Episcopal Church 73 Culpeper Street Warrenton, VA, 20186 United States (map)

This service will feature music that spans eras and styles. The organ voluntaries draw from the French Romantic tradition. “Cortège et Litanie,” the prelude, is a kaleidoscope of organ colors composed by the celebrated French organist Marcel Dupré. Gaston Belier’s “Toccata” — an exhilarating exercise in finger dexterity — will bring the liturgy to a close. Late Renaissance composer Michael Praetorius composed the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in a hymn-like setting. The anthem, “Gently, Lord,” is a shape-note-inspired work by Shenandoah University composer William Averitt. Much like the summer Evensong, we will welcome voices from neighboring parishes.
