Solemn Masses & Other Special Liturgies during the Program Year ———————————————————————— The Holy Trinity Schola Cantorum Dr. Andrew H. Yeargin, Director of Music & Organist HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH CATHOLIC TRINITY HOLY HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH 213 West 82nd Street, New York, NY 10024 | (212) 787-0634 September 14, 2019 The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Dear Friends, Welcome to a new season of ecclesiastical music at the Church of the Holy Trinity. We are pleased to share with you this music brochure outlining our week-to-week selections of liturgical music for the 2019–2020 season. In addition to the highly diverse offerings in repertoire each Sunday, we are especially excited to present a concert performance of Johannes Brahms’s German Requiem with orchestra in March 2020. We hope you can join us regularly throughout the season for an enriching year of inspiring and evocative sacred music. OUR PHILOSOPHY ABOUT SACRED MUSIC: Music is an integral part of the worship experience, and is part of what binds together the many aspects of liturgy…the “mortar between the bricks,” so to speak. At times, the congregation is invited to sing hymns or refrains, adding their voices to countless others in a unified act of prayer and celebration. At other times, the choir or cantor may sing alone— offering prayers on behalf of the entire assembly—while the congregation reflects silently. In either instance—joining in song or prayerfully listening to others—the assembled congregation is actively participating in the litury.
