Nunc dimittis (Marilyn setting) by Peter Hallock sung by The Compline Choir
From Luke 2:22-40, we are handed one of the great canticles—a Biblical text arranged as poetry—which we know as the Nunc dimittis or Song of Simeon. This canticle, the second sung at Evening Prayer, was originally appointed for use at Compline, itself a liturgy designed to prepare one for the “little death” (sleep during the night) and also death itself. For this work, Hallock composed a simple hymn-tune setting. Traditionally, the Compline Choir uses this setting from the Fourth Sunday of Advent through the Epiphany, and again on The Feast of the Presentation.
