X-WR-CALDESC:The IPC Choir is offering a Choral Service of Evensong with vi
 olinist Daniel Szasz\, concertmaster of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. Of
 ficiated by the Rev. Nicole Newton\, the music will include British compos
 ers John Ireland and Malcolm Archer\, and American composers Ned Rorem and
  David Ashley White.\n\nEvensong is the Service of Evening Prayer by Song.
  It is a worship service sung at the onset of evening to mark the close of
  day with gratitude\, and to compose the mind and renew the spirit for the
  coming week. We take this time to rest in the Heart of God\, to give than
 ks for our lives and our blessings. You will be asked to join in silently 
 while the music is offered on your behalf. You may join in verbally in the
  chanting of the Lord's Prayer and the Apostles' Creed\, and in the singin
 g of the hymns. \n\nThe worship is truly ecumenical\, as it draws on tradi
 tions of worship dating to the Fourth Century.  Evensong is the name given
  in medieval England to the canonical hour of Vespers - the hour the candl
 es are lit\, hence the singing of the Hymn of Light (Phos Hilaron). The se
 rvice includes important additions from Compline\, the last of the day-hou
 rs\, said before retiring for the night. The Magnificat\, the Song of Prai
 se\, was sung by the Blessed Virgin Mary when her cousin\, Elizabeth\, had
  greeted her as the mother of the Lord.  It has been the canticle of Vespe
 rs since the time of St. Benedict (c.480-550). The Nunc dimittis\, the Son
 g of Simeon\, has been part of the daily prayers since the fourth century.
   Simeon was the aged and devout Jew who took the infant Christ in his arm
 s in the Temple at Jerusalem and spoke these words. \n\nChoral Evensong is
  essentially a service of reflection. Here beauty in language and music ca
 n speak to us of God in a rich and diverse way. Within this hallowed space
  you may forget the ceaseless activity of daily life and be still.
