THE OFFICE OF COMPLINE
With antecedents that date from the 4th Century, this liturgy is designed to calm the spirit and to bring the day to a peaceful close. This service was a particular favorite of Tudor composers, who created ethereally beautiful music for it; all of the choral music for this service is from the Tudor era. The choral music, with its long, spacious, soaring lines, can transport you, comfort you, and evoke feelings of awe and wonder.
