Compline - The Shadow of Thy Wings
The
Christ Church Choir performs selections from the medieval monastic
office of Compline, ancient Christian hymns
and prayers sung a' capella in plainsong and
polyphonal chant. The Office of Compline is sung by the choir
at 10:00 p.m.
each Sunday evening when Yale is in session. The church completely
dark except
for dozens of candles, clouds of incense swirling from the High
Altar, the choir hidden from sight, Compline is
one of the best attended religious Services in
the Yale University community.
