St. Paul’s Choir
St. Paul's Oakland square
Compline Service, featuring Gregorian chant, polyphony, and candlelight, in the church, with music of Byrd, Tallis, and Victoria. Compline, a service of psalms and prayers, has been sung ‘at the close of day’ in monasteries, convents and churches for many centuries, and is one of the best-loved services of the Church. It has been re-instituted in response to the renewed interest in plainsong and contemplative prayer.  There is no sermon.
