Evening Service in G

Thomas Dunhill's Evening Service in G offers a rich SATB setting of the traditional Evening Canticles, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis. Sung in English, this sacred setting is ideal for a choir looking to explore a composer of the late Romantic/early 20th-century English tradition. The music reflects the devotional texts, moving from the exultant praise of the Magnificat to the peaceful resignation of the Nunc Dimittis. Dunhill's writing for the choir is idiomatic and well-crafted, providing opportunities for expressive vocal colours and satisfying harmonic language. This service setting is well-suited for regular liturgical use or as a concert item within a sacred music programme.
