Music at All Saints
We are a singing parish! If you are new to Orthodoxy, you might be surprised that the majority of our services are sung. Offering ourselves in worshipful song is a pleasing aroma to God.
Make a Joyful Noise
We aim to make singing easy for worshipers. You will find much music in our Service Guides (optional; intended for visitors who are unfamiliar with the services) as well as the weekly inserts. We encourage everyone to “make a joyful noise to the Lord” with us. If you don't know a particular tune, chances are there will be someone standing next to you who does.
Orthodox Church music is a cappella, meaning there are no instruments. The unaccompanied human voice given by God and used to His glory is one way we offer ourselves in worship, besides prayerful attention, as we enter the sacred space where Heaven and Earth meet for a timeless moment. Come and see!
Sing a New (Old) Song
The music at All Saints Orthodox Mission is based on the rich traditions of the Orthodox Church worldwide. We sing primarily from the Russian and Kievan traditions; but also Georgian, Serbian, Romanian, and various monastery chants. Don’t let these labels scare you: all our services are in English.
