Evensong at Guildford Cathedral, 17 July 1967:
(George Dyson’s beautiful Evening Service in F was published in 1945. Our apologies for the occasional “fuzzy” distortion on this 50-year-old tape. For more information on George Dyson, see www.dysontrust....)
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him, throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
GLORIA
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people.
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
GLORIA

What charming, understated music -- and a fine performance, too. Thank you for posting this.
And thank you for listening.
Perfect description of this piece
And BEAUTIFUL singing 🎵🎶
That was BEAUTIFUL! So like Stanford. I'd never heard this setting before, much to my shame; I know, of course, the familiar setting in D so thank you for this! Was that Mr Barrow singing the solo part in The "Nunc Dimittis"?
It's a beautiful setting, for sure. Not John Barrow singing the solo, though.
The bass soloist is Phillip Mindenhall now living in York and an occasional solo violinist around North Yorkshire
I don’t agree with the likeness to Stanford. The serenity of this setting (both Mag and Nunc) is unlike anything in Stanford. For the most part, Stanford Mags are about the excitement of pregnancy and the power of God. Here we have a picture of a young maiden privately enjoying the sensation of anticipating motherhood. In my opinion of course!
My singing teacher is making me learn this piece for Frideswide Voices girls
In Oxford Christ Church Cathedral
