Sherborne Abbey

Organist Charlie Gurnham

Our season ends with a summer’s evening of wonderful choral music all connected with close of the day – and with more than a nod to the amazing images of our universe that the recent Artemis II voyage has shared.

Sit back and enjoy a voyage in music from the sixteenth century through to the present day:

Ivo Antognini Come to me
Benjamin Britten The evening primrose
Harold Darke O gladsome light
Edward Elgar The prince of sleep
Ēriks Ešenvalds Stars
Gerald Finzi Magnificat
Herbert Howells Magnificat ‘St Paul’s Service‘
Morten Lauridsen Sure on this shining night
Joanna Marsh Evening prayer
Ben Parry Lighten our darkness
Josef Rheinberger Abendlied
Thomas Tallis Te lucis ante terminum, O nata lux
Eric Whitacre Sleep
Charles Wood Hail, gladdening light
