Music

The music tradition at All Saints' Parish is a rich one.

The Choirs
Parish Choir and Quin Choir at the 10:00 a.m. service.

Music plays a large role in many special services during the year, such as Advent Lessons and Carols, Christmas Eve services, the Choral Mass, and Holy Week services.
This year the annual Choral Mass was on April 7th. The Choir and string orchestra performed the Little Organ Mass by Franz Joseph Haydn with Gregory Eaton conducting the Choir, and Chamber Orchestra.

The Parish Choir has Choral Evensong monthly on most of the last Sundays of each month, and sings as usual for Ash Wednesday and the special services of Holy Week including Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

Instrumentalists/Bells
Members of the parish participate as guest instrumentalists in worship services. Any other members of the parish who play an instrument and might wish to be included in the parish music, from time to time, will feel free to contact Gregory Eaton. He would be very glad to find ways to include any member of the parish who might be interested in taking part in the musical portion of our worship. Along these same lines, if you are interested in joining in the All Saints’ Bell Choir, Gregory will be happy to meet with you about that also.

Organ Programs
Gregory Eaton came to All Saints’ after over 15 years of playing weekly concerts in his previous parish. He is interested in finding ways in which to do some sort of regular organ programs here at All Saints’. He welcomes any ideas for how future programs might be worked into All Saints’ already generous round of parish activities.

When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried ‘Alleluia!’
F. Pratt Green, Hymn 420, The Hymnal 1982
