Evensong - Notes from the Choir

Introducing a brand new "laugh out loud" book by Timothy E. Popple, the man behind Quires and Places, being published in May 2025. 

Sir John Rutter writes of the book:

The ultimate insider's guide to everyone's favourite Church of England service: Choral Evensong, as heard in cathedrals and churches throughout the land.

Tim Popple, ex-chorister and now cathedral choirman, lifts the lid on its mysteries with the lightest of touches, plenty of anecdotes, and some laugh-out-loud moments. 

Whether you are a seasoned devotee or you don't know your versicles from your canticles, this book is guaranteed to have you running to your nearest cathedral to experience the beauties of choral worship . . . and you will go back and back.

 

Popple writes:

Drawing on experience from my whole life singing in choirs, and more recently running QuireMemes, the book is a celebration of the world we know and love - and an introduction to it for our friends and family. 

 

The book will be launched on Wednesday 14 May following Evensong at Holy Sepulchre London. 

You can get tickets to the launch - which include a free copy of the book - here.
