MUSIC AT ST. PAUL'S

Music is an integral and important part of our worship experience at St. Paul's. Two choirs provide music during worship services, and members are encouraged to provide special music in solos or small groups, either vocally or instrumentally.  The Spirit Singers enhance the monthly Spirit Services. 

The Choirs of St. Paul's UCC

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 Sanctuary Choir

The Sanctuary Choir performs at the late Sunday morning service. A wide variety of styles of music are performed: Bach, Rutter, spirituals, African folk songs, and contemporary compositions. Rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9, from September through the end of May. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir performs throughout the year, using four octaves of handbells, as well as a set of hand chimes. This choir rehearses on Tuesday evenings at 7:30.

 

 

 

 Spirit Singers

Music is an integral part of the Spirit Service. (The Spirit Service is the 2nd Sunday of each month, September to June at the 8:30 service.) The Spirit Group uses a clavinova, drums, guitar, and rhythm instruments to enhance their music and to keep the spirit moving! A monthly planning meeting, weekly rehearsals and the talents of many St. Paul's members brings this service to life.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 St. Paul's Organ

 St. Paul's Organ was built in 1941 by the former M.P. Moller Organ Factory in Hagerstown, MD. The instrument consists of four divisions: Great, Swell, Choir, and Pedal -- virtually four organs in one -- in two chambers on either side of the balcony. The organ contains 24 ranks (or rows) of pipes ranging in tone quality from the beautiful Claribel Flute to the stately Trompette en Chamade. The church consultant for the organ was Mr. Henry A. Baecker and the design of the instrument is in the tradition of the English cathedral organs of the 19th Century. The dedicatory recital was performed on May 4, 1941, by Virgil Fox -- formerly an organist of St. Paul's -- who was known world-wide as a virtuoso performer.
