Choir of St Edmund Hall
Instruments of Time and Truth
James Whitbourn Director
A celebration of Choral Mattins live from St Edmund Hall, Oxford, focused on Edmund of Abingdon, the college’s namesake, whose feast day falls in November. The service will give a picture of worship and life within the college and point to the practices of love and almsgiving that characterized St Edmund’s life. Music is chosen from a range of centuries and styles, though recognizable as an expression of the English choral tradition.
Hymns: Come down, O Love divine; Blessed city, heavenly Salem
