Nunc Dimittis in G and in A Major- by Charles Villiers Stanford

We bring three renditions of Nunc Dimittis, Luke 2.29-32, from Evening Prayer, 25 Aug 2010, in response to the NT lection of Mark 1.1-21. To meet, receive, embrace, love, be baptized into, and follow the LORD Christ is rest, justification, assurance, and salvation. We are Christians, first and foremost, here at RA.

In the grand cathedral tradition for which Anglicanism is known and for which no apologies are offered (especially to Americans), the third video clip is from Ely Cathedral as part of 800th anniversary celebrations of Cambridge University. The music is sung by the choirs of Downing, Jesus, Queens', Magdalene, Selwyn, Sidney Sussex and St Catharine's Colleges. Organist: Robert Quinney
Director of music: David Hill.
