St. Julian’s adult choir sings at the 10:30 Sunday service. Besides the four hymns (processional, sequence, offertory, and closing hymns), the choir leads the congregation in the sung portions of the service (Song of Praise; Sanctus & Benediction; Lord’s Prayer; Fraction Anthem) as well as the psalm appointed for the day. The choir regularly sings special music during Communion and often performs an offertory anthem as well. A number of the choir members serve as cantors as needed. Besides the organ, other instruments are used occasionally (such as piano, violin, flute, guitar, percussion, etc.) In order to meet the musical needs of a diverse congregation, a wide variety of music is performed at St. Julian’s ranging from Gregorian chant through traditional Anglican hymns on through more contemporary music. The choir occasionally performs a piece in Latin (with a translation included in the bulletin). In addition to singing at the main service each Sunday, the adult choir also performs an Advent Lessons & Carols service, Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, and sings at services held on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil.
Expected time commitment: The adult choir rehearses during the months of the school year from 7:15-8:15 on Wednesday evenings as well as 9:45- 10:25 on Sunday mornings and sings at services as outlined above.
