Choral music enriches worship at St. Martin’s.
St. Martin’s parishioners include an abundance of gifted musicians who love to incorporate others into their midst. The choir sings at the Sunday 10am service, with accompaniment by organ, piano and occasionally guitar, string bass, praise band, violin, and flute (and we’re open to other instruments too). Anthems range from Renaissance motets to contemporary Christian music. On the fourth Sunday of the month, we have more interactive service, designed to be accessible to a wide variety of ages. We also have a Pop-Up Choir on Fourth Sundays, which means anyone can join the choir to sing the anthem; just show up at 9:15am to learn the song.
Jeffrey Jubenville leads the program as Music Director and organist. He works with Choir Director Suzanne Jubenville.
Our sanctuary also includes a Baldwin grand piano and an organ built by the the Bond Organ Company.
♫ CLEF NOTES ♫
Notes from our Music Directors for Sunday, November 8, 2026
In honor of St. Martin of Tours, the soldier saint known for his generosity and for whom our parish is named, the Sanctuary Choir will sing an anthem that has become a favorite with many in our congregation because it so beautifully expresses our parish’s mission and experience. Harold Friedells’s “Draw Us in the Spirit’s Tether” brings together themes of community, the Eucharist, and everyday holiness. The text, by poet Percy Dearmer, begins with the presence of Christ in worship, but moves outward, suggesting that the way we treat one another, the food we share, and the care we offer are all expressions of the sacred as offerings of gratitude and love.
