So, tonight at church we had our Evensong service for Easter, and just because I know at one person who will be jealous of this I'm going to post the service:

The Brass Prelude -- Now Thank We All Our God . . . . . . . . . Sigrid Karg-Elert
The Introit -- Alleluia . . . . . . . . . Ralph Manuel (We did this from the balcony, then processed in durring the upcoming hymn)
The Salutation . . . . . . . . . Psalm 117 (done as a responsive thing)
The Processional Hymn -- Light's Glittering Morning fills the Sky . . . . . . . . . LASST UNS ERFREUEN
The Prayer
The Anthem -- Hallelujah . . . . . . . . . G. F. Handel (not the Hallelujah Chorus, it's from another of his works, but I can't remember which)
The Psalter Lesson . . . . . . . . . Psalm 148 (Becca and I both though of the Beck Canticle of Praise)
The Anthem -- Creation's Alleluia . . . . . . . . . John Rutter
The Responsive Reading . . . . . . . . . Psalm 150
The Welcome and Offertory Prayer (Oh, thus far all the spoken stuff has been done by Peter Letchford, the really cool british guy, he's got a great accent and way with words, as one would expect of an old british guy)
The Offertory Anthem -- Jubilate . . . . . . . . . Bob Chilcott (Actually, we only did one piece from this work, a setting of a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins, "Prayer")
The Hymn -- Jesus, Lord, Redeemer . . . . . . . . . KING'S WESTON
The New Testament Lesson . . . . . . . . . Revelation 19:1-10
The Homily (Based on the above)
The Anthem -- Te Deum . . . . . . . . . John Rutter (in my opinion the best part of the whole friggin service! Wow, with the brass and the organ it was really amazing, not that the other music was not)
The Hymn -- The Joyful Eastertide . . . . . . . . . VRUCHTEN
The Benediction
The Choral Response -- Psalm 86 . . . . . . . . . Carl Nygard
The Organ Postlude -- Toccata . . . . . . . . . Widor
