This was unspeakably beautiful. Thank you. One comment on the reflection. I have been organist for many years for a Lutheran congregation, and correct, the Sunday Next before Advent is not known as "Christ the King". Instead it is known as the "Sunday of Eternity", which has an eschatological thrust to it, hence the Chorale for the Day being Nicholai's "Sleepers Wake" (Wachet Auft) and hence the Cantata for the day by Bach. So all completely fitting.
Excellent! Thank you so much for this. I find it rather ironic that the priest mentions Doctor Who right after he «interrupts» the finale chord of «Wachet Auf» Most of us would agree that such wonderful music demands both space and time, so beginning to speak a bare three seconds (in such a generous acoustic) after the music has ended seems rather thoughtless, as well as being an uncomfortable segue. I am also rather saddened, but not surprised, that the congregation seem to be in a desperate rush to get out that they don’t take the time to listen and appreciate the voluntary played by the orchestra. Thank goodness that a fair portion of people stayed until they could show their gratitude with their thankful applause.

Lovely Evensong and the J S Bach was a special treat for Sunday afternoon, and beautifully sung.
Marvellous!
