Valiant for Truth: Journalists' Commemorative Service 2024 by St Bride's Church, Fleet Street
Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Alison talks about a woman she knew who earned her respect and admiration for her steadfast commitment to an incredibly challenging job. The reflection opens with the hymn 'Love divine, all loves excelling' and concludes as St Bride's Choir sing Richard Dering's anthem 'Factum est silentium.' It is a dramatic setting of a text for the feast of St Michael and All Angles – which we celebrate this Sunday – and vividly conveys the silence in heaven as the Archangel Michael joins in battle with the dragon. A new episode of this online act of worship is released every Sunday morning at 11am. Information about our weekly Sunday services in St Bride's of Choral Eucharist at 11am (https://www.stbrides.com/worship-music/worship/regular-services/choral-eucharist/) and Choral Evensong at 5:30pm (https://www.stbrides.com/worship-music/worship/regular-services/choral-evensong/) can be found on the website.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Alison reflects on the insights that a child's perspective and approach to life can bring us. The reflection opens with the hymn 'Praise my soul, the King of heaven' and concludes with St Bride's Choir singing Olivier Messiaen's 'O sacrum convivium'. Music for Messiaen was a way of expressing his Christian faith but surprisingly this short anthem is his only liturgical motet.

Our annual performance of Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols on the Third Sunday of Advent, 10th December 2022, is given by the upper voices of St Bride's Choir accompanied by harpist Sue Rothstein. It is preceded as usual by a short, candle-lit lower voices Evensong. Download Order of Service → https://bit.ly/47Miafp The work opens and closes with the chant "Hodie Christus natus est" (Today Christ is born)sung in procession. The chant is also the basis of the poignant and dramatic harp Interlude which is both at the centre of the whole work and its longest movement. This service is preceded by a shortened form of Evensong, sung by men's voices which complements the Britten by using two of the same elements - plainsong, which is used for the responses, psalm and canticles, and medievalism, with a piece of seasonal medieval music ending the service just before the Ceremony of Carols begins. ========================= If you enjoy listening, please leave a comment below or subscribe to our channel.
