Choir

Mandate

The Choir at the Cathedral seeks to provide outstanding music for the Sunday morning liturgy, and for special events and holy days throughout the year.

Time requirement

The choir practices each week during September through June on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9:30 (rehearsal time is subject to change). The choir is expected to be in attendance during the Sunday morning liturgy, and practices for one hour on Sunday mornings before the 10:30 service. In addition, the choir practices for an hour before each special event.

Special Skills Required

A love of music is the primary requirement of choir members. The choir is open to all ages. A musical background and an ability to read music is required.

What is Sung

The choir leads the singing of the Hymns and provides an anthem each Sunday. Usually the choir sings the appointed Psalm to traditional Anglican chant, although plainsong and other settings are used. A variety of Mass settings are used and occasionally an introit is sung. Additional hymns or anthems are usually sung during Communion.
