New Service Music In Lent
In each liturgical season there are musical parts of the service that stay the same from week to week. In Lent (March 2 to April 15) we will be learning some new music from the Mass for St. Philip’s by William Bradley Roberts, an Episcopal church musician and professor emeritus of church music at Virginia Theological Seminary. They are easy to learn, and we want you to feel ready to sing with confidence! Below are the recordings from our church choir for you to preview and join us in church at 10:15am on February 27 or March 6 for a quick practice session with our musicians.
