Evensong dates back to the time of the Reformation, usingelements of the old monastic Offices of Vespers and Compline.
The liturgy that the Church uses to this day was laid out in
Archbishop Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer, the first version
of which appeared in 1549.
The traditional Evensong features choral music, readings and prayers, which the congregation listens to, and either responds to or joins in.
Evensong usually starts with a welcome from the officiant and a set of responses, before a psalm and a set of canticles is sung. There will then typically be readings, and further responses and prayers, including the Lord’s Prayer.
Choral anthems are sung before a set of prayers relevant to the life and times of the congregation, and a final set of readings and spoken prayers, brings the service to a close.
The service usually last 40 - 45 minutes.
