A weekly podcast of the Compline service as sung every Sunday night by The Compline Choir in St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle, Washington. Founded in 1954 by the group's former director, Peter R. Hallock, the service has become something of a phenomenon, with upwards of 500 people (most of them in their teens and early twenties) attending the service, and thousands in the local radio audience and on the Internet each week.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful!
Thank you St. Mark’s! I have been listening to Compline on your podcast for about four years.
A blessing.
Has been a comfort to me for years.
Centering
During work breaks, I love listening to the Compline Choir. I work in a hard-hit section of the workforce so there are a lot of people whose emotional/mental health is not as it usually is. This is calming, centering, and brings charity back to my heart. Thank you!
