ALL MUSIC 2019 / 2020 WELCOME TO MUSIC AT ALL SAINTS’ All Saints’ Music Guild is pleased to present our 2019-2020 season of great music at All Saints’. From ancient music to premières of modern works, both sacred and secular, at All Saints’ you will find an exciting variety of ways to experience the beauty of holiness through music. We invite you to join us for our special choral services and concerts. In addition to our Sunday morning service of Choral Eucharist at 10:00 a.m., the choirs of All Saints’ offer a wide variety of opportunities to worship amid the sacred sounds of great choral music of the ages, especially music of the Anglican/American choral tradition. Some of these offerings are: CHORAL EVENSONG The most uniquely Anglican of services, Evensong offers the opportunity to worship in meditation and prayer, as led by the choir. Music features sung prayers, glorious settings of the canticles and psalms, and hymns and anthems. These services are followed by a reception and the opportunity for fellow- ship. MISSA MYSTICA Throughout the liturgical year, the choirs mark many of the major feast days with choral settings of the Holy Eucharist. On these occasions the choir offers wonderful sung settings of the Eucharist. From Renaissance to contemporary, these great works have illuminated the liturgy through the ages. These services offer a special time for contemplation and reflection. JOIN SERVICES IN THE STYLE OF TAIZÉ Amid the glow of candlelight, these quiet, occasional Wednesday evening services offer a unique way to worship. The service includes chants from the Taizé community, and other traditions, as well as readings and periods of silence. CONCERTS Special occasions to encounter the transcendent in monumental works of choral and instrumental art. Because these works require performing forc- es that surpass normal liturgical limitations, admission fees apply for concerts only (except for All Saints’ Music Guild donors with season passes). We look forward to welcoming you to All Saints!
