I have found a church (well, they found me) where they hold a sung Evensong once a month. I played there on Sunday and enjoyed it. There were 3 hymns, a sung psalm, the 2 canticles and a short anthem by the choir. All things considered there was a decent congregation and some ten singers in the choir (not robed).
I do enjoy the language of the BCP and it took me back to my youth when I played every week for two services. I have been at school services where someone has written their own version of the General Confession and it really hasn't worked.
What I liked about this church was that they said the prayers at the correct pace and not a meaningless gabble.
There is hope!
