One is bold, unsettling, and full of holy reversal. The other is quiet, luminous, and full of peace. In this episode, Clara and Miles explore why these two canticles have become the emotional center of Anglican evening worship, how composers bring their words to life, and what the Choir of St. James by-the-Sea will carry from La Jolla into the cathedral stalls of Wells and Windsor. Expect cathedral beauty, Prayer Book language, a little musical listening guide, and the usual amount of affectionate Anglican nonsense. No musical examples are played in this episode, but you can hear the canticles the choir will sing on pilgrimage on the St. James Music Series Spotify playlist .
