MUSIC

2014 - 2015

About Music at Saint Paul’sThe music ministry of Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church exists to provide meaningful music for our community in the worship of God. We also believe that our music is not just for our parish, but the entire

community. Saint Paul’s choirs comprise more than 85 singers, and opportunities for involvement span all ages. There are also non-singing opportunities for those who would like to serve on the music guild and help with day to day operations of the music program. If you are interested in joining us in our work, contact the Director of Music at the church office.

Sunday MorningThere is choral music each Sunday morning at the 10:30 a.m. service of Holy Eucharist. This service is sung by the accomplished Saint Paul’s Choir. Twice a month, our choristers join the adults and form

an intergenerational choir in the Anglican tradition. In addition, our cherub choir learn to be leaders of liturgy by participating in the 9 a.m. service once a month.

About the Adult Choir and Choral ScholarsSaint Paul’s Adult Choir is comprised of approximately 50 members, both professional and volunteer, who come from a variety of musical backgrounds. Membership through audition is open to adults and boys

with changed voices. We sing the 10:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist during the program year in addition to monthly Choral Evensong. The Choral Scholar program connects aspiring high school musicians to an intensive choral experience designed to give them experience in a semi-professional setting and a window into the requirements of being a professional musician. The Choral Scholars sing as a part of the Adult Choir.

About the ChoristersThe Saint Paul’s Chorister program is a multi-faceted musical opportunity for boys and girls ages 8 and up. Our emphasis is on the education and development of each child. During rehearsals, we learn

healthy vocal technique, how to read music, and how to be leaders within our community. The choristers perform both on their own, and with the accomplished Saint Paul’s Adult Choir, giving our youth the opportunity to perform with professional musicians from throughout the Philadelphia region. Our young singers also have the opportunity to study a musical instrument, for which a limited number of scholarships are available. The study of a musical instrument greatly reinforces the music skills taught in choir. For our Chorister program and Choir School, no prior musical experience is required and you do not have to be an Episcopalian or a member of Saint Paul’s Church to join.

Praise him, and magnify him for ever...

OVERVIEWCHORAL EVENSONG & ORGAN RECITALS

Sung at the close of day in Cathedrals and churches throughout the world, Choral Evensong is an Anglican expression of Evening Prayer, derived from the ancient offices of Vespers and Compline. In this service, the choir takes on the primary role of offering up praises to God on behalf of the community, while the congregation assists with their own prayer and meditation. Consisting of hymns, choral music, and readings, Choral Evensong is an opportunity for rest and mindfulness before the start of a busy week. Before each service, there is a 30 minute organ recital. At Christmas and Holy Week, Evensong is replaced by a service of Lessons and Carols traditional to the season. Freewill offerings support choral music at Saint Paul’s, and a reception follows in the parish hall.

Ann Stookey Memorial Organ Recitals are at 4:30 p.m., with Evensong following immediately at 5 p.m. All are welcome. In 2014-2015, they are

scheduled on the following Sundays:

FIVE FRIDAYS Join us for five world-class concerts throughout the 2014-15 season. All proceeds benefit the Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network and Face to Face Germantown.

Come enjoy yourself while supporting good work in your local community. Tickets and more info: www.fivefridays.org

SUPPORT THE CHOIRSIf you wish to support the choirs of Saint Paul’s Church, donations are welcome at anytime. Though the parish budget generously supports music on Sunday mornings, choral evensong services are made possible by the plate offering at Evensong and by generous contributions. Please help us keep the Evensong tradition alive.

SUPPORT THE ORGANIf you wish to support the Organ Saint Paul’s Church, you can do so by making a contribution to the Ann Stookey Fund for Music at Saint Paul’s Church.

The Ann Stookey Fund for Music, established in 2012, will endow in perpetuity the unique character of our landmark Aeolian-Skinner Organ. This fund, once fully realized, will ensure the ongoing maintenance required to keep the organ in excellent repair in addition to funding projects that further the use and integrity of Saint Paul’s incredible Aeolian-Skinner Pipe Organ.

A committed member of the Saint Paul’s choir, Ann Stookey (1952-2012) held Saint Paul’s Aeolian-Skinner Organ in high regard, and this instrument played a major role in her musical experience that she valued greatly. Upon her death, Ann’s family and friends set up a fund in her memory that will secure the future condition of the organ, enabling others to enjoy it as much as she did. The maintenance costs of such an instrument are substantial, and this fund will allow Saint Paul’s Music to continue into the future.

Donations of any size are helpful, and may be sent to:

Saint Paul’s Episcopal ChurchAnn Stookey Fund for Music -or- Evensong Fund22 East Chestnut Hill AvenuePhiladelphia, Pennsylvania 19118

When writing checks, please designate your intention in the memo line. Contributors to the Ann Stookey Fund for Music of $1,000 or more are eligible to “adopt” one of the stops on the Saint Paul’s Organ. Requests for further information regarding giving to Saint Paul’s Music and to the Ann Stookey Fund for Music, including inquiries into making a planned gift should be addressed to Zach Hemenway, Director of Music and Organist at: zhemenway@stpaulschestnuthill.org or 215-242-2055 x35.
