“Lord, let me know mine end“, by Maurice Greene | Musical Highlights from the Saint Thomas Choir

On Thursday, March 16, the Choir of Men and Boys sang 18th century composer Maurice Greene’s ‘Lord let me know thine end’ at our 5:30pm Choral Evensong service. Considered Greene’s masterpiece, this verse anthem sets a text full of pathos over a continuous walking bass line and an effective treble duet in the middle sung by two of our younger choristers. If you are ever looking for something to do on a weekday evening in New York City, we hope you will wander in to Saint Thomas Church to hear our choristers singing music from the Renaissance to the 21st Century with the skill and dedication required and acquired to sing 5 services a week for 9 months of the year.
