A Joyful Noise - Music

Emmanuel’s music is an essential part of its worship.  The repertoire of the adult choir is varied, with its foundation in classical sacred music from many periods. Hymns are carefully chosen to fit the lectionary, and the congregation sings over 250 hymns during the church year. Regular full-choir anthems are supplemented by small ensembles and soloist on occasion. On Christmas Eve, the choir participates in a traditional Lessons & Carols Service, based on the one given at Kings College in Cambridge, England.

The Adult Choir practices Wednesday evenings in preparation for Sunday Services and does not require an audition.  During the summer the choir rehearses just on Sunday at 9 AM. 

Music is also an important part of our Children’s Worship.  Each week they sing a song as part of their time together and present it to the congregation several times during the year.  In addition, our pre-teen and teenagers present musical offerings for special services, such as Youth Sunday, Easter, and Christmas Eve Lessons & Carols. 

For more information, please contact Larry Smith, Music Director, by calling the church office at 540-456-6334.
