Wish I had discovered this earlier. This year, I have been praying the Great Litany each weekday during Lent, on the advice of my Spiritual Director. I would have been richer if I had been praying along with this.

beautiful

I agree it is lovely. At Lent I think the sung great Litany, which we also have in the Church of Sweden is a must.

[pulvaris]

The Cantor sings it with excellence. I really enjoyed listening :)

[lutherheggs]

I play back this multiple times daily. Who is the officiant? She does a magnificent litany.

Please never take it down.

Thank you for your kind words!

[lutherheggs]

Anyone know where I can get a recording of those bells? I would like to use them in my home.

[stbwebmedia]

Thank you. The bells are being rung by choristers using a technique we call 'free ring.'

Great beauty the church is.

With one of the busiest holy weeks I can remember in years, I'm making it a point to pray this great litany from my 1928 BCP, as I won't have time to attend services as much as in the past.

I love the Great Litany, at my church this year we said it, instead of chanting, but it is still gets you thinking.

This is a moving and timely liturgy for this time of year: Lent. So I came to your video by searching on "The Book of Common Prayer." I didn't realize how much time it takes to say this wonderful confession, and it wasn't until halfway through that I realized there were bells playing in the background as accent. Wonderful!

The voice saying the Litany is beautiful, so well done!

I sent this to some friends, who will appreciate it; one has been playing bells for many years.

Thank you for sharing this. We are using this as a guide for an upcoming requiem; using the Litany at the Time of Death.

Well sung Helen. I remember this well. I think l played the F# bell. I miss singing with you guys but hopefully will be able to sing when l visit.

Very beautiful. We did the Great Litany this past Sunday in church (I attend, and am a member of, St. Paul's Episcopal in Kennewick, WA), and we ended up saying it, rather than singing it. It sounds better sung, IMHO.

[ddelray]

Beautiful yes, but more beautiful still with the full litany of saints......

[raysincorona]

Yes, calling out for all of God's saints, and we do need them all, to intercede so that God will have mercy on us, seems very appropriate.
