Music of St. John's Episcopal
The adults of St. John’s Church Choir sing each week, leading the people's part in the service, while adding anthems and communion motets that highlight the messages of the Lectionary Readings. Most of our repertoire consists of the time-honored SATB format, drawing from the very earliest music, to that of our own time.
St. John’s Choristers, consisting of boys and girls, ages 8 and 14, sing in the service approximately every third week, and for 'extras' like the "Fat Tuesday Follies." Our music ranges from traditional anthems and hymns, to a pop musical sung in costume each year.
The St. John’s Music Foundation seeks to further the use of the historic St. John’s Church building through music and the arts.
St. John's Organ Boasting a fine acoustic and a splendid 47-rank tracker action organ, the building and its organ are one of the jewels of this community. The 1728 brick Church provides a rich atmosphere for quiet and spiritual refreshment.
An annual Concert Series include fine performances from both area artists and from internationally recognized individuals and groups. The church choirs are actively involved in the Series, and are in turn enriched for the weekly responsibility of singing at worship services. We at St. John’s seek to actively share our heritage and resources.Visit the Music section of our web site to listen to samples and information on ordering one of our choirs CDs.
The people who are St. John’s change from generation to generation, but one thing never changes; this is a place where God’s people open themselves to His solace and strength, His pardon and renewal.
