Choir Members The Adult Parish Choir sings at the 10:00 AM Mass at Holy Trinity Church from September through June and rehearses on Thursday nights from 7:00 - 9:00 PM, as well as before Mass in the sanctuary. While we welcome singers of all ages and particularly need the support of male voices. The ability to read music and experience singing in choirs is preferred but not required. When programming choir motets and anthems, Dr. Rone provides recordings of pieces, as well as of all voice parts to facilitate the learning and fluency of the choir.
What is required? The desire to fulfill an integral ministry. A willing, flexible attitude. An open mind. Discipline. Commitment. Dedication. The ability to laugh (at yourself and your director at times!). Most of all, good choir members constantly seek to improve the quality of the whole and use their gifts ad majorem Dei gloriam – for the greater glory of God. Cantors We need cantors to lead song, provide leadership, and foster the singing of the congregations of all three church sites. The ability to read music and singing experience is strongly preferred but not necessary. Just as lectors and clergy must be able to read in order to proclaim the Word of God, so too must cantors possess the technical ability to sing in their leadership roles. Nevertheless, Dr. Rone will assess those interested in cantoring on a case-by-case basis. Rehearsals are available as necessary, and cantors rotate through the Mass schedule based on their availability.
Instrumentalists Instrumental music can enhance the beauty of liturgical music, and AGP seeks to expand the variety of its musical offerings in this capacity. If you are proficient at an instrument and would like to enhance the Mass periodically, then please contact Dr. Rone.
