This retrospective webcast of Choral Evensong features Mendelssohn's Ave Maria and Philip Moore's John Scott Service.

Philip Moore succeeded Francis Jackson as Organist and Master of the Music at York Minster in 1983 and during his musical career has written a number of compositions including Lo! God is here! which was written for John Scott and the choir of St. Paul's Cathedral. These canticles were composed by Philip Moore in memory of John Scott, former Organ Student of St. John's College from 1974 to 1978.

Winner of the 2008 Ivor Novello Award for classical music, Jonathan Dove CBE has composed a broad range of works and is one of the most successful British composers today. 

Jonathan was kind enough to share insights into his St John's Service, the compositional process, and what we can look forward to in the future.

The commitment, projection and natural energy of this choir have never failed to inspire me
