Festival Compline

End your day with a meditative choral Compline service by candlelight in the gorgeous setting of Gidleigh Church.

Compline is a contemplative church service for the end of the day, characterised by melodious threads of medieval plainchant and prayers for a peaceful night. As well as singing the plainchant, Ensemble-in-Residence Corvus Consort performs choral motets by William Byrd and James MacMillan.

William Byrd (c.1539-1623)

In manus tuas

William Byrd (c.1539-1623)

Christe qui lux es et dies

James MacMillan (b. 1959)
