The Music Ministry of St Matthew Trinity
|
Music is second only to the Word of God
- Martin Luther
Worship at St Matthew Trinity is an expression of the unity of our church - the people of God - and its continuity with Christians across the ages. We continue in our liturgies the gestures, songs, and words by which Christians have identified themselves and each other for two thousand years.
Join with us each Sunday as we celebrate in word, prayer and song the Liturgy of Word and Sacrament with music that reaches back hundreds of years and continues the tradition right up to today.
Our choir members are volunteers and they rehearse each Sunday after the liturgy and sing twice a month as well as all the festival days. Anyone is invited to join.
Our historic pipe organ was built in 1877 by George Jardine & Son organ company in Manhattan and is original with the building. It consists of 26 ranks of pipes and almost 1600 pipes which range in height of just a few inches to sixteen feet. It is totally mechanical except for the air blower which provides the wind.
And historic, too, is our concert grand Steinway & Sons piano built in 1884. Both instruments form the foundation of song and music for our worship as well as our extensive music program of afternoon and evening concerts.
