For choral evensong, which is held each Sunday from September through May, the choir takes after the English cathedral and collegiate tradition in following the rite set forth in the 1662 ''Book of Common Prayer''. The choirs use one setting of the [[Preces|Preces and Responses]] throughout the month, many settings of the [[Magnificat]] and [[Nunc Dimittis]] are used in rotation, and the remaining music is determined by the [[Proper (liturgy)|propers]] for the day. In December 2012 the ensemble was heard in a nationwide broadcast of their annual Service of Lessons & Carols; the broadcast was carried by [[Public Radio International]]. |
