Park Street Church Sanctuary Choir

Choral Introit

We Praise Thee
Archbishop Hilarion Alfeyev

Anthem

Salvation Is Created

Pavel Tchesnokov

What Shall We Give?

One of the pieces that the Park Street Church choir and orchestra performed at last night's Service of Lessons and Carols is this gorgeous piece, What Shall We Give? Here's the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performing it, conducted by its composer Mack Willberg.



Their choir and orchestra are larger than ours, but so is their space. I may be (ok, am) biased, but I think it sounded just as good in Boston last night as it did in this lovely video...

Easter Music

Easter Music - Park Street Church Sanctuary Choir, 4/8/2012

Introit - From Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass, the Et Resurrexit

Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas,
et ascendit in caelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris.
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, iudicare vivos et mortuos,
cuius regni non erit finis;
Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem,
qui ex Patre Filioque procedit.
Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur:
qui locutus est per prophetas.
Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.
Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum.
Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum,
et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.

Anthem - Handel, "Worthy Is The Lamb" from The Messiah.

Park Street Church Sanctuary Choir, with a lovely anthem for the first Sunday in Advent...

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Service music for a Missions Conference...

The introit is a classic hymn from the hymnal, on which the congregation joined the choir for the fifth verse.

"O Breath of Life"



And the anthem is not from the hymnal. A South African piece.

"Mayenziwe"

How Lovely Are The Messengers

Mendelssohn wrote wonderful choral music...



This is from last week, 11/6, at Park Street Church.

Easter music at Park Street Church, with the Park Street Church Sanctuary Choir and the Park Street Orchestra. The service opened with the Easter hymn, but the choir and orchestra performed a prelude and postlude on it.
