About this listen

While society might be secularizing, many are still drawn to the beauty of religious art. Over the last couple of decades, traditional Anglican Choral Evensong became very popular in the Netherlands. This is highly surprising, since the Netherlands is neither Anglican nor religious anymore. In this episode we talk to Hanna Rijken, who in cooperation with Oxford University studied the ways in which Choral Evensong reaches a secular audience. She tells us about her research and the ways in which it led to a new worshipping community rooted in the practice of choral singing in Utrecht.

Dr. Rijken’s research was published in: Hanna Rijken, ‘‘My Soul Doth Magnify’. The Appropriation of Anglican Choral Evensong in the Netherlands, Amsterdam: VU University Press, 2020.
