Music this Sunday
Sunday morning’s music will feature an eclectic thematic mix celebrating the Reign of Christ, Thanksgiving, and our turn from the final Sunday of the liturgical year towards the new cycle starting with Advent. The St. Michael’s Singers will sing Handel at the 9am and 11am services—not the famous “Hallelujah” Chorus, but one in a similar vein (from Handel’s dramatic oratorio Saul) with exciting 16th-note runs and, of course, plenty of “Hallelujahs”!

Choral Evensong
The Feast of St. Cecilia
Sunday, November 23 at 5pm

Please join us this Sunday at 5pm for our Choral Evensong for the Feast of St. Cecilia. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music and musicians, making her feast day (transferred from November 22) a fitting date to commemorate. Choral music will include works by Orlando Gibbons (for the 400th anniversary of his death), Joanna Forbes L’Estrange, and Herbert Howells (A Hymn for St. Cecilia). A reception will follow in the Parish Hall, graciously sponsored by members of the 7:30am service.
