Evensong for the Translation of St Edward the Confessor | Saturday 12th October 2024

Watch our service of choral music (psalms, canticles, and anthems), scripture readings and prayers as we mark Edwardtide.
During Edwardtide we celebrate the life of St Edward the Confessor, the king and saint whose shrine lies at the heart of the Abbey. St Edward was canonised in 1161, and to this day pilgrims come to pray at his shrine.
The service will be sung by the Choir of Westminster Abbey and music will include:
Thomas Mudd - Let thy merciful ears, O Lord
Matthew Martin - Responses
Francis Jackson - in G
Philip Moore - Lo, God is here
Herbert Howells - Paean
