Music Ministry at St. Matthew's Church - Fall Anthem Listing

The St. Matthew's Parish Choir sings a large number of anthems and motets from the 15th century to the present, mostly, but not exclusively, of the English School. These are thoughtfully selected to complement the lectionary readings (lessons) contained in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Two anthems or motets are prepared for every Sunday or Holy Day of the year: one at the offertory, the other during communion. They are intended as votive offerings to God, and are therefore presented to the best of our ability to honor Him.
