Chapel Choir sings Cathedral Evensong - St Chad's College Durham

On Monday 13th November the Chapel Choir sang evensong in the cathedral for the first time this academic year.

The choir and other members of College. It was great to see Canon Dr Margaret Masson in her new red Lay Canon robes, and we were delighted that the Dean of the Cathedral, Andrew Tremlett, who is also the College Rector, was able to attend the service.

The highlight of the service was undoutably the Vaughan Williams anthem: Lord, Thou hast been our refuge for choir, organ and trumpet, the final chords of which shook the building. Many thanks go to Tom Rickard, 3rd year Economics, for his trumpet playing and to Peter Swift, the College Organist, for playing the organ.

The rest of the music for the evening was:

Preces and Responses – Bernard Rose

Psalm 69 vv 1-4, 13-19, 31-37 – chant by J Battishill

Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis – Herbert Murrill
