Canterbury Evensong Broadcast all week

[ACNS] BBC Radio 3 is hosting online the October 1st live broadcast of
Choral Evensong from the Mother Church of the Anglican Communion for the
forthcoming week.

The service at Canterbury Cathedral includes Byrd's Great Service,
Lassus' Fremuit Spiritu (Raising of Lazarus) and Bruhns' Praeludium in E
Minor. The world famous men and boys choir is directed by Dr David Flood
with organist Matthew Martin.

Special prayers for the Anglican Communion and the Primates were offered
by the Revd Kevin Goss. The Revd Canon Edward Condry and the Very Revd
Robert Willis, Dean of Canterbury, read the appointed lessons. The choir
sang the Psalms for the 1st evening, nos. 6, 7 and 8, to Anglican Chant.

The BBC estimates that nearly a million listeners tune in each week as
they offer Evensong from a different cathedral or major parish church.
