This recording offers the opportunity to savour the atmosphere of a complete Choral Evensong service in one of northern Europes largest cathedrals. The generous acoustic of York Minster is harnessed by the York Minster Choir and organist who provide the music for Evensong in this great building on a daily basis, and includes well-loved settings of the Preces and Responses, the Psalms, the Magnifcat and Nunc dimittis, anthems, and organ voluntaries, together with readings and prayers from members of the York Minster clergy.
The musical items include works by Howells, Smith, Vaughan Williams, Vierne, and former Directors of Music at York, Thomas Tertius Noble, Francis Jackson, and Edward Cuthbert Bairstow.
