Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis

Second Service for SATB

5 1/2 minutes


First performed by the St Andrew’s Episcopal Church choir, Highland Park,

Pittsburgh, directed by Peter Luley, March 6th 2008.



The Nunc Dimittis is performed on the CD ‘Blessed, Heavenly Light’











“His Second Service evening canticles are tenderly conceived short settings,

shot through with an almost nostalgic air. They are characteristically concise

and whilst there is nothing too difficult here and no divisi, only a confident choir

will deliver an effective performance”

Organists’ Review, October 2008
