Church of the Epiphany

Music is central to worship at The Church of the Epiphany. The serenely beautiful Norman architecture of the nave provides excellent acoustics for all our voices--both the volunteer and professional singers who comprise our Adult Choir, and the young singers in our Children's and Cherub choirs.

Do you enjoy singing? We would love to talk to you about Adult Choir membership! Our singers are a very dedicated and loyal group, in part because choir rehearsal is grounded not only in solid musical practice, but also in historical, spiritual and liturgical awareness. Led by a director with a broad background that includes seminary study and advanced degrees in performance and literature, the Epiphany Adult Choir is a first-rate place for you to grow in musicianship and in your understanding of the role of music in the liturgy. Weekly rehearsals are held Thursdays at 7:30-9:00 p.m. from September through mid-June. The repertoire is diverse in style and level of difficulty, including Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, J. S. Bach, Gospel music and spirituals, and other music by living composers.

Epiphany's 50-rank, 3-manual Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ, opus 1412, dates from 1963 and is housed in the chancel tower. The present instrument retains the Pedal Bourdon and the Positiv Dulciana and Unda Maris stops from the 3-manual 1916 Steere organ that preceded it. Built under the tonal supervision of Joseph Whiteford in dialogue with John Cartwright (Organist and Choirmaster from 1958 to 1987), the Epiphany organ is a masterpiece of historic significance. Elegantly and clearly voiced, it works very well for music of widely different styles.
