Reviews
This is essentially a two-part setting of Fuller's Evening Hymn ('Now that the Sun hath veilad his Light'), but with an S/A semichorus that sings the office hymn aBefore the ending of the daya to its plainchant melody. A flowing piano part supports the voices. This short and easy anthem would be lovely at an upper-voice evensong. * www.rscm.org.uk Sunday by Sunday, June 2019 *
