Sacred Music
at Transfiguration
Music is an integral part of worship at
Transfiguration. Even our spoken 8:00 1928 prayer book Holy
Communion is preceded by an organ prelude. And the 10:15 Sung
Eucharist is a joyful traditional Eucharist with extensive
congregational singing, led by our loyal and skilled St. Francis
Choir. Our music ranges in style from well-loved hymns of the
church, to the organ music of Bach and Mendelssohn, to choral music
of Ralph Vaughan Williams and Amy Beach, to folk songs and
spirituals, to the mysterious musical explorations of Ives and
Messiaen, to Bernstein, Copland, and Duke Ellington. If you would
like an idea of the breadth of music we experience in worship,
take
a look at our current music list on this page.

Transfiguration has had a vigorous choir program
throughout its history. Today’s choir has 15 members, ranging in
skill from new singers to church choir lifers to professional
musicians who just love singing with a group. We rehearse Sundays at
8:00 am, and sing weekly at each 10:15 service. From time to time we
take on special projects such as concerts, evensongs, and music for
the special seasons of the church year.
The group is welcoming and friendly, and we share
a deep affection for the music which speaks our faith. Our
rehearsals are full of laughter and learning, and we would love to
have you join us.
For further information, contact our
organist/choir director Bob Crocker at
crockermusic@aol.com, or talk to any choir member at coffee
hour.
