Evening Canticles in F

Herbert Brewer composed these Evening Canticles in F for SATB choir. As part of the Anglican tradition of Evening Canticles, this setting likely offers a musical response to the traditional texts of Vespers, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, often sung at Evensong. The work is written in the English language. Brewer, organist of Gloucester Cathedral for many years, composed a significant amount of church music. This setting provides a substantial and traditional approach to the Evening Canticles, suitable for cathedral and parish church use alike. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic possibilities and a full choral sound.
