Music at Redeemer

 

True to the Lutheran tradition, music is a vital component of worship at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, an expression of beauty and praise and a means of congregational participation.

 

HYMNODY

Hymns are selected to complement the readings of the day.  They may be Lutheran chorales, beloved hymns from other European countries or the African-American tradition, songs of faith from Latin America or Africa, or early American or contemporary hymns.

 

CHOIR

The choir supports congregational singing and supplies musical elements of the liturgy in addition to singing two anthems during the service.  The music is usually classical but may also be drawn from other cultures and styles.

 

A few choir members are professional musicians, while most are lay people with a love of music.  Anyone who likes to sing and can sing in parts is invited to join.

 

The choir sings at Sunday morning worship and special worship services from September through May.  It rehearses Wednesday evenings at 7:15 p.m. and Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m.

 

ORGAN

Worship at Redeemer is supported by the rich tones of the Martin Ott pipe organ, dedicated in 1991.  It provides a broad spectrum of sound for classical and contemporary music.

​

 

OTHER INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

In addition to organ and piano, many instruments, from wind, string and brass to African

and Latin American percussion instruments, are incorporated into music for Sunday

morning worship.  A variety of instruments make up a large Easter orchestra for Easter

Sunday.  We encourage interested instrumentalists to share their skills on Easter or throughout the year.

​

CONCERTS

Redeemer's recently refurbished worship space is available to the community for public concerts.  Our sanctuary, which seats up to 500 persons, has excellent acoustics with a beautiful hardwood floor and stained glass windows.  There is flexible performance space for choirs, orchestra, organ and other instruments.  To inquire about renting space please contact our church office manager at redeemer@redeemerstpaul.org or 651-227-8295.
