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, October 25, 2026
Our Pop-Up anthem today is “Peter, Go Ring Them Bells,” an African American slave song, chosen primarily because it recalls departed loved ones, and we are celebrating Dia de los Muertos. However, “Peter, Go Ring Them Bells” also very likely belongs to a category of slave songs designed to carry coded messages. In this case, it imparts the joyful news that someone who has run away has made it to a Free State.
