When rating each evensong, I will consider both music and atmosphere.

Each judgement will be subjective — based on my personal experience of the evensong. I hope not to have to use the bottom of the scale. However, I will always provide an honest account of my experiences.

I will rate each evensong using a Michelin-inspired three-star system:
⭐⭐⭐ — exceptional
⭐⭐ — excellent
⭐ — great
🙂 — recommended
🙁 — not recommended

Evensong is an Anglican choral service, combining the ancient services of vespers and compline.

Each service includes psalms, canticles, readings from scripture, the Apostles' Creed, and prayers. Most services include an anthem and one hymn, and some have a sermon.

Join me as I undertake an evensong-a-thon around the sixteen old colleges at the University of Cambridge over seven weeks.
