served in our armed forces. The Episcopal Church of the Ascension 
will be presenting a Choral Evensong for Veterans Day, on Sunday, 
November 10, at 5:00 p.m. Sung by Ascension’s Choir, led by Dr. 
Debora Huffman, Director of Music and Organist, this traditional 
Anglican service of meditation, prayer, and song will feature music 
written primarily by American composers, to include:

Choral Fanfare for a Patriotic Occasion by Mark Schweizer;

Preces and Responses, as well as Phos Hilaron by Robert Lehmann;

Magnificat and Nunc Dimittus by Robert J. Powell;

Blessed Is the Nation by Allen Orton Gibbs;

Concert Variations on The Star Spangled Banner, Op. 23. 

 

Following this beautiful service of reflection a reception will be held 
in Hawks Hall. All are welcome to attend. Come, share with us the 
beauty of this traditional service. 

Evensong or Evening Prayer is a traditional Anglican service which 
is celebrated in the late afternoon or evening. It is commonly known 
as Evensong when most of the service is sung. For generations, 
many of our finest church composers have written music for this 
traditional service.

Sierra Madre. For more information, please call (626) 355-1133 or
