Ash Wednesday
The Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge is well known for its Ash Wednesday services of evensong, thanks to regular radio broadcasts since the 1970s. This recording of the 2019 service includes Thomas Weelkes’s Short Service, William Byrd’s motet Ne irascaris, Domine, and Gregorio Allegri’s famous Miserere mei, Deus. The choir is directed by Andrew Nethsingha.
