More new music this Sunday @stbrideschurch as part of the @lfccm.
Canticles by Master of the King's Music @ErrollynWallen and a setting of "Hail, gladdening light" by former (and much-missed) choir member @helenneeves1.
Do stay for our #fleetstreetsocial after the service!
"O soft self-wounding Pelican! Whose breast weeps Balm for wounded man."
Unmistakeable words from Finzi's great anthem "Lo, the full final sacrifice" β #choralevensong@stbrideschurch on Sunday at 5:30pm.

Remembering Ben β the much-loved, sorely missed and highly competitive Easter Day egg-roller β pictured here as a champion in 2016 alongside Chris, another dear friend of St Bride, who is, sadly, also no longer with us. May they rest in peace. (And egg-roll in glory!)
Weelkes's "Hosanna to the Son of David" on Sunday morning @stbrideschurch masterfully portrays the shouting and excitement of the crowd as Jesus enters Jerusalem on #PalmSunday. Plus Poulenc Mass in G so its a dramatic morning of music!
Grieg's perennial favourite "Ave maris stella" @stbrideschurch for Mother's Day and Brahms's perfect jewel β Geistliches Leid β at #choralevensong.
And the day rounds off with #fleetstreetsocial refreshments!
It's the first Sunday of Lent this weekend and there's some wonderful music lined up @stbrideschurch β Purcell's perfect "Hear my prayer", Jongen's great mass, and a classic trio of English composers at #choralevensong.

One of our favs this Sunday @stbrideschurch: Britten's "Ceremony of Carols" which was premiered by the upper voices of The Fleet Street Choir in December 1942.
