Music at Trinity Church

The purpose of music at Trinity Church is to express and illuminate the liturgy, to give voice to the Christian spiritual experience, to draw the worshiping community together, and to lead God’s people in the way of Jesus Christ.

• As an aspect of sacred liturgy, music reflects the formality, beauty and tradition found in the rituals of the church, the architecture of the sanctuary, the vestments worn by the clergy and choir, and the spoken word as prescribed by the Book of Common Prayer.
• Music strives to express our most profound understanding of the living Christian faith, and is therefore the very best we can offer.
• Music, whether sung or heard, is part of our communal experience of faith, and looks to the Anglican tradition as a source of inspiration and identity.
• Music in its harmony and beauty ultimately teaches; it demonstrates a way of being and seeing that helps us "go forth into the world, rejoicing in the power of the Spirit."
