St. Paul's Episcopal Church

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." The First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians (5:16-18).

 
The Music Program at St. Paul's

 
   
   The Music Program at St. Paul's follows in the tradition of the Episcopal Church
   liturgy. We use the 1982 Hymnal in companionship with the Red Book of Common
   Prayer (BCP) and the Revised Common Lectionary. One of the beautiful qualities of
   the traditional  Episcopal Church service is the integration of sacred classical music,
   from the classical masters such as Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Giovanni Palestrina,
   Michael Praetorius, J. S. Bach, G. F. Händel, W. A. Mozart, and Franz Schubert, to
   the contemporary sacred classics of Robert Powell, Richard Proulx, Healy Willan
   along with the current popular sacred music such as John Rutter and others. St. Paul's
   has a wonderful Adult & Youth Choir and for special occasions, a Children's Choir.

In addition to the wonderful Adult & Youth Choir & on special ocassions, our Children's Choir, St. Paul's other instruments include a wonderful three manual and pedal 1982 Howell Pipe Organ of 42 ranks with 99 levels of memory.

The organ console is moveable for concerts and practice so the organist may be in the center of the nave and better judge the balance and volume of the instrument.

The Cable-Mason & Hamlin Grand Piano is a second musical instrument in the sanctuary that is often used to accompany the choral anthems at the later service.


 
  
   The sanctuary has an elevated platform where the altar stands. This is an ideal setting 
   and location for community and professional performances. The famous internationally 
   acclaimed Vermeer String Quartet once performed here at St. Paul's while in residence 
   at Northern Illinois University.
