"Before the Ending of the Day" (Compline): Guildford Cathedral 1975 (Philip Moore)

[@edwardhart5466]

Compline should be sung and broadcast every night 24/7 a lovely service, Thank you

[@annekaye1834]

A great comfort in this terrible time of plague. I used to lie in bed and listen as a child.

[@samanthamcdougall9749]

Beautiful. Thank you. ❤

[@Jimbowinch]

Absolutely beautiful! The Service of Compline ... so meaningful!

[@szymongorczynski7621]

Should be broadcast every night!

[@jonathanneil2011]

The BBC frequently broadcast Compline in a late evening time slot on Sundays - sometimes they broadcast the 5 part Tallis Litany. we never hear anything like this now - more's the pity.

[@ArchiveofRecordedChurchMusic]

Quite agree. But you might hear the 5-part Tallis Litany here!

[@ArchivesofSound]

Any chance of uploading it, then?

[@ArchiveofRecordedChurchMusic]

You can listen to Hereford Cathedral, under Roy Massey, singing Tallis's 5 part Litany kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqbIk5eClLahm6s

Thank you!

And there's the broadcast of Choral Evensong from Ely Cathedral in March 1994, but only part of the Litany is sung. But the service as a whole is magnificent!

Where are they finding that version of Compline? It does not appear to be in the BoCP 1662. My Episcopal BoCP has Compline but it is different.

Yeah, use the 1928. You can find an online web-page at justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1928/EP.htm

Used to enjoy Seeds of Faith. From memory, sometimes it ran for the whole half-hour but occasionally it would be just a quarter-hour and then Compline. I found the topics covered by Seeds of Faith started to change and I lost interest and stopped listening. Tried again later and it had gone altogether.
