Under-represented among the flood of releases from England's collegiate choirs is their status as working ensembles that provide music for daily worship services. Evensong Live 2016, from the superb Choir of King's College, Cambridge, bids to fill that gap with a selection of service music from the Evensong liturgy that, as annotator Nicholas Marston puts it, "is revered by many, believers and non-believers alike, as perhaps the quintessential expression of Anglicanism." The first thing to be aware of here is that the album doesn't deliver what's directly stated; these are not live Evensong performances from 2016, but were taken from a variety of performances during the choir's online broadcasts from 2014 and 2015. In other words, you aren't getting an actual Evensong service, but rather parts of 13 of them. This said, what the selection allows Cleobury to do is provide something of an ideal Evensong service in which pieces elaborate on the ideas presented in earlier ones. The immediacy of the live performance setting is still in evidence; sample the hushed quality of Messiaen's O sacrum convivium, the most contemporary work on the program. Most of the rest of the program consists of works from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with excursions backward to the Renaissance and forward to later fare. The acoustics in the King's Web broadcasts have been of notably high quality, and as a sampler anthology of King's College performances this may be generally recommended.
