A FEAST OF CHANT Candlemas Procession 2011
 

Friday 28th January 2011 6:45 pm Wells Cathedral Promenade Concerts £8

(tickets will be held for you at the door)

 

The audience is invited to move freely about the cathedral and the cleared nave, and to follow the procession if they wish.

A partial reconstruction of the Cathedral’s mediaeval procession for Candlemas, preceded by Vespers. The ceremony incorporates texts from Roman and Greek processtraditions. At its heart is a blessing of the candle, and a recitation of Simeon's Song (Nunc Dimittis) during the distribution of candles to the people. Once again Andrew Parker and the cathedral servers will perform with us to add visual ceremony to the chant as we move about the building.
