At the end of a day for safeguarding officers in the Bath and Wells Diocese, I went to evensong in the Cathedral (having picked up a stamp for my Pilgrim Passport). This was the official evensong to open the new academic year, and so was in the Nave and largely attended by chorister friends and relations. Some people near me had brought their dog in with them, but it was quieter and more attentive than many of the humans.
We weren’t shortchanged on the music, with full psalmody for the day, responses by Andrew Millington (I’ve never sung these), Jackson in G and Bairstow’s Blessed City. The choir was in good voice, but of course the main organ is currently being rebuilt.
