The Parish Choir of Saint Stephen's Church celebrates the Feast of All Saints with a festival Choral Evensong service at 3:30 p.m. An offering of music, readings, and prayers, this entirely sung rite uses 'Elizabethan' English and remains a beloved part of the Anglican/Episcopal tradition worldwide. Special choral works by Charles Villiers Stanford (including his Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in G major and the All Saints festival motet 'Beati quorum via') will commemorate the 150th birthday of this popular Anglo-Irish composer. The service will conclude with a complete performance of Mendelssohn's powerful Organ Sonata in F minor. The psalms will be sung to special Anglican chant settings from the Short Requiem of H. Walford Davies, and the Preces and Responses to the famous 17th-century setting of William Smith of Durham. The Rev'd James C. Dannals, Rector, will officiate and Dr. Daniel B. Page, Director of Music, will conduct the choir and play the organ.

The Saint Stephen's Parish Choir is the only ensemble in Western Massachusetts which regularly presents such fully choral services of Evensong. These seasonal offerings mark rare opportunities to experience great English and American choral works in their intended context in this elegant and venerable liturgy. All are welcome to attend without charge or regard to religious background.
