Divine Office: None

Episode 6 of 8

The sixth of the Canonical Hours with the Tallis Scholars and Peter Phillips, the office of None.

The Office of None

The Liturgy of the Hours or Divine Office continues with None, traditionally at the ninth hour of the day, or 3 o'clock in modern times. The Tallis Scholars, conducted by Peter Phillips, sing settings of words and psalms associated with each of the eight services, also known as Canonical Hours, a monastic daily ritual as laid down in the 6th century by St Benedict.

Latin chant is interspersed with music by Hildegard of Bingen, John Taverner and his modern namesake John Tavener
