Music Ministry
A rich music ministry has long been a central focus of our life together at TPC. Our Chancel Choir, led by Dr. Joni Prado and accompanied by our organist, Dr. Dennis Siebenaler, is a deeply committed group of singers who express their faith through music and as members of Christ's body. Our mission style sanctuary is graced by a 53-rank Wicks pipe organ. Our music ministry includes choirs for all ages as well as bell choirs for children.
Our worship services are fresh and carefully crafted so that anthems, hymns, scripture passages and preaching all work together to enhance one another. Each Sunday the music in our service is based on the scripture designated in the Common Lectionary.
The Chancel Choir leads us in worship every Sunday morning. Several special music programs are presented each year. These have included: MASS IN B-FLAT by Haydn, Bach's Cantata, BWV 106 "Gottes Zeit Ist die Allerbeste Zeit" (God's Time is the Best Time of All), Mozart's REQUIEM, the REQUIEM by Gabriel Fauré and MISSA BREVIS by Zoltán Kodály. At Easter, there is special music with organ and instrumentalists.
Listen to our Chancel Choir in the following performances:
Summer is just about here which means there’s a new opportunity for you to get involved with the TPC Chancel Choir! Perhaps you were out of town, or just let this opportunity slip you by last time. Never fear! The door is always open for newcomers! The full choir will be back to sing again on the first Sunday of each month throughout the summer season. No rehearsal necessary! Just come and join us in the sanctuary at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday morning ready to sing! You’re welcome to join in on the fun! Hope to see you there!
The Chancel Choir is having another great year as we make music together and help to lead the TPC congregation in worship. In addition to the regular music each Sunday morning, we perform special music for All Saints' Sunday, Christmas Eve, and Easter. Everyone who loves to sing is invited to join. No experience is necessary. Yes ... it IS hard work ... learning all those notes, giving up every Thursday evening and Sunday morning, sometimes leaving your family for a special rehearsal (which doesn't happen very often), or getting up from the dinner table on Christmas Eve to get to a 8:00 p.m. warm-up rehearsal before the 9:00 p.m. service. Many of our singers have done that for over 30 years ... some with very young children! So ... if THEY can do it, YOU can do it too!
The audition is simple. If you can find the Choir Room ... you've made it! If you can't devote the time... well... there are many other activities at TPC to choose from ... you'll find something.
If you have any questions, please call Dr. Joni Prado at the church…... (714) 544-7070, ext.109.
The Children’s Music Ministry has rehearsals for singers and bell ringers as part of our Midweek Program. If you would like to participate in the music program for children, stop by the Christian Education Committee Table to register your child or call the church office at (714)544-7070 for more information.
