Written in 2014 for the Wellensian Consort conducted by Christopher Finch At Evening is composed in the style of an evening blessing . It would work very well as an anthem during an evening service or as a blessing at the end of evensong. The text penned by the composer appeals for God s blessing love and safety as night falls and the music is suitably soothing making use of Todd s characteristic rich warm harmonies and shapely melodies. A simple Piano part supports the mixed voices (with only occasional divisi) in this short work which elementary to intermediate choirs and their audiences willthoroughly enjoy.
