Music

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

Psalm 66, v. 3

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.

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 choir is ably led by Music Director Taylor Hoyt and backed by various accompanists as needed, typically in music ranging from the 17th through the 21st Centuries.

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

For those who may be interested in singing with our choir, we routinely practice on Sunday mornings prior to our service.
