Traditional Choir

At Holy Spirit the Parish Choir consistently sings with feeling and understanding and excellent musicianship that far surpasses their numbers or even their individual musical gifts. They are truly an example of the sum being greater than the parts and of what can happen when people truly sacrifice themselves to a greater goal. The are also a great example of what can happen when we let God "have his way" with us -- we can transcend our human limits and -- not to be too dramatic -- approach the gates of heaven.

Our greatest musical challenge this year has been the consistent use of Anglican chant for the Psalms in the Rite II services. This has not been a choral tradition at Holy Spirit, but as is their way, the choir has risen to the challenge and is becoming quite adept at this historic style of worship music.

We are always looking for a few more voices in every voice part, particularly basses.  If you have ever thought about joining the choir — or even if you haven't — why not give that a try now.  Prior singing experience is not necessary (it would be helpful if you could match pitches!) and there is no audition.  No matter your level of expertise or experience, you will find a welcome with this fantastic group of people.  Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7:30 in the choir room.
