Music
At Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, music serves as an integral part of our beautiful worship. Whether this participation takes the form of offering your musical talent as the prelude to our worship service, singing in the Holy Trinity Choir, or singing a hymn from the pew, it is our goal to incorporate every member of the Holy Trinity community into the musical life of our parish. Holy Trinity proudly offers a traditional musical liturgy in the Anglican tradition.

Choir
The Holy Trinity Choir rehearses each Wednesday at 7 pm. The focus this fall will primarily be on formation activities, with choir members choosing from several “tracks” such as basic musicianship (how to read music, etc.) and the history of Anglican church music. Sunday worship will feature soloists and small-group music making. The choir is always seeking new members, so if you are interested in participating, please contact Dr. Matthew Hoch, Minister of Music.
Children’s Choir
The Children’s Choir meets on Wednesdays at 6 pm in the parish hall. Children’s Choir director Camille Rivenbark has planned a variety of activities, including a curriculum from the Choristers Guild that utilizes rhythm sticks for learning the songs as well as activities and bible stories related to the songs the children are learning. This curriculum incorporates music, art, nature, play, and worship in a safe and socially distanced environment. If your child is interested in participating in Children’s Choir, please contact Camille Rivenbark, Children’s Choir Director, here.
Holy Trinity Choral Scholars Program
The Holy Trinity Choir warmly welcomes talented college and university students to join its ranks.

Holy Trinity Descant Project
Holy Trinity regularly offers descants during processional and recessional hymns. Our resident composer, Dr. Jennifer Canfield, has written several descants for us that we would like to share with you below. If your parish uses the Hymnal 1982, we welcome you to use them as a part of your liturgy. SOLI DEO GLORIA.
