Compline, the last of the daily monastic offices, is sung every Sunday night at St. John's at 8 p.m. The Compline Choir uses a historic setting of the Order of Compline that incorporates the mystical style of Gregorian Chant. Membership is open to men and women by audition or permission of the Choirmaster.
In Advent of 2004, our Compline Choir of women and men released its first CD, a 23-selection disk entitled "Evensongs." Selections include a setting of The Lord's Prayer by Susan E. Bloomfield, (our director of music and liturgy at the time of the recording), and "Keep Your Hand on That Plow," composed by William E. Unbehaun, a member of the Compline Choir. Also represented are well-known Northwest music figures Peter R. Hallock, Roger Sherman and the late James D. Holloway. The CD may be purchased through the church office.
