Ring to the Lord a New Song! |
|
|
The Saint Paul Bell Choir has openings for a number of new ringers this fall. In past years, the ensemble has generally rung for Sunday liturgies every 4-6 weeks and has also participated in some seasonal liturgies as well as in Music at Saint Paul events.
The Bell Choir is open to any young person or adult (junior high age and older) with an interest in learning the art of handbell ringing and a willingness to commit to regular participation in Thursday rehearsals from 5:45-6:45 pm AND to liturgies and events for which the choir is scheduled to ring. No prior ringing experience is necessary, though basic music reading skills would certainly be helpful.
Fall rehearsals begin on Thursday, September 23. |

Play to the Lord a New Song! |
|
|
If you play a musical instrument and would be willing to share your talents as a soloist, choral accompanist, or ensemble member, please let Cantor Mark Filbert know.
Surely there are guitarists, bassists, flutists, pianists, even kazoo players (well, maybe not kazoo players!), who might enrich our worship life by sharing their gifts with the community here at Saint Paul Lutheran Church. |

 Commissioned especially for the anniversary, this festive new congregational musical setting of the liturgy also calls for choir, handbells, brass, and timpani. Under the direction of Cantor Mark Alan Filbert, the Saint Paul Choir will provide choral leadership for the Mass at both liturgies and sing the Randall Thompson Alleluia and the Libby Larsen Servants' Prayer, a new a cappella anthem also composed for the anniversary celebration. Larsen, who will be present at both liturgies, will discussed the new works and answered questions about her compositional process at an Adult Forum to held that morning at 9:15 am.
