O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with your servants
who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and
grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it
unveiled for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. BCP, p. 819
About Music at Christ Church Bronxville
Music is integral to the worship and community at Christ Church, Bronxville. Music is not worshiped here; rather, it is used as a conduit to illuminate the scriptures and enhance the worship experience for all. While no one can define how music transforms communal worship, no one can deny that it happens. Whether it is the quietest chant, or most triumphant anthem, music can do what ordinary words cannot: it reaches deep into our souls and moves us.
Music Mission Statement
Music is integral to the worship, liturgy, spiritual development, and common life of the parish at Christ Church Bronxville.
Grounded in the Episcopal choral tradition, our music ministry seeks to offer opportunities for all ages – children, youth, and adults—to become involved in the life of our parish through music, to grow in faith, to develop musical skills, and to serve in worship.
Through our music ministry, we aspire to be known by our neighbors as a welcoming and inclusive community that nurtures and fosters music and spirituality through concerts and outreach both by our musicians and musical ensembles and others.
