Join The New Consort as we sing the Office of Compline throughout the duration of Lent at at Saint Paul’s Carroll Street in Brooklyn. Compline, originally the last of many daily prayers among Christian holy orders, has found new life in the modern world: this half-hour ritual of sung chants and polyphony provides an opportunity to reflect, experience awe, and reconnect with the divine in each of us as the day draws to a close. In memory of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd, each Compline service will include one of his masterpiece Jerusalem Motets. We look forward to sharing this weekly ritual with many of you, and are grateful to Saint Paul’s Carroll Street for their collaboration on this project.
