Music

The Playing of the Merry Organ,
Sweet Singing in the Choir
From “The Holly and the Ivy,”
A Traditional English Carol

The music program at All Saints Anglican Church reflects the traditional liturgy of orthodox Anglican worship. Within this framework, the All Saints Music Program plays
a vital role in enhancing our Christian worship and in underscoring the tenets and teachings of our Christian faith, while affording interested parish members the opportunity
to give of their time and talents.

Though we are a relatively small parish, many of our members regularly share their talents by performing music that spans the history 
of the Anglican church as a vital and
vibrant part of Christianity. Our small choir is ably led by Music Director Liz Albertson and backed
by various accompanists as needed, typically in music ranging from the
17th through the 21st Centuries. The All Saints Recorder
Ensemble, under the direction of Heather Berkley, and the All Saints Brass Ensemble frequently participate in
services, especially those 
commemorating the major Festival days of the church. Instrumental soloists in brass, woodwinds, or strings join us throughout the year. 


Most services feature organ preludes and postludes by our Organist/Pianist, ensembles, or soloists.

For those who may be interested in singing with our choir, we routinely practice on Sunday mornings prior to our service. 
For further information on the choir or our other ensembles, please contact Music Director Liz Albertson at info@allsaintsraleigh.com.

Music Director Liz Albertson’s educational background includes a BS in Music Education, with a Major in Instrumental/Vocal and a Minor in String, and an MA in
Music Education, with emphasis on Performance.  She is experienced in making full use of vocal and instrumental musicians.  Prior to moving to North Carolina, she
served as Director of Music for churches in the Chicago area and in West Central Illinois.

All Saints was blessed for several years to have the dediction and unique musical talents of organist/pianist Ron Christie. Ron's educational background included a
BA in Christian Studies/Bible and an MA in Musical Studies/Organ Performance. His extensive musical background included not only the full spectrum of Christian music
but also a thorough grounding in the classical keyboard repertory. Sadly, Ron passed away earlier in the year, and All Saints is presently searching for a new organist.



For All the earth shall worship thee,
sing of thee, and praise thy Name.
