St Andrew’s Vespers
graphic (c) Netta Ewing
St Andrew’s Day in Glasgow is marked by church services and Masses,
by lunches and suppers and a variety of social events – perhaps signs of a renewed
interest in St Andrew and his long association with Scotland and the Scots. Glasgow
Churches Together held a special ecumenical Vespers.
Music was led by the St Mungo Singers,
with Des McLean and the Brass Ensemble from St Andrew’s Secondary School, and
with instrumentalists Clare, John, Carissa and Jane. The music covered a wide range of style
from medieval hymn, to Vaughan-Williams’ setting of the Old 100th, to 17th century polyphony,
modern responsorial psalms and Canticles and the singing of the ecumenical version of The Lord’s Prayer.
The order of service can be seen in the file below:
