From Time to Time: Celebrating the Book of Common Prayer

Concert trio In Voice and Verse celebrate the 350th anniversary of the 'Book of Common Prayer'. As well as a handbook of public worship, it is a companion to the big milestones of life (birth, childhood, adulthood, marriage, illness and death), helping us express pain and sorrow, joy and gratitude.

The music includes Handel's 'Come unto him', SS Wesley's 'Lead me, Lord', John Ireland's 'It is a thing most wonderful' and Geoffrey Burgon's 'Nunc Dimittis.' The words include not only the incomparable language of Cranmer and his successors; but also examples of how the Prayer Book has affected people's lives over the centuries.
