Music

Join us during worship as Govans presents the  annual Holiday Coffeehouse – a “open mic” style showcase of church members sharing their musical talent with the congregation. All ages and skill levels welcome. If you would like to perform, please contact Lea Gilmore at lea@govanspres.org. Merry Christmas!

Join us for the Chancel Choir’s performance of Oratorio de Noël (Christmas Oratorio) by Camille Saint-Saëns. You will also get to hear some of the singers in our choir featured as soloists:  Jocelyn Taylor, Nerissa Paglinauan, David Willerup, Karl Starks, and Colin Johnson! You might recognize this composer, for he wrote the famous Carnival of the Animal pieces, most notable of which is “The Swan.” Saint-Saëns also composed the famous “Danses Macabre.”

We begin by singing Silent Night to candle light, then we move through a few scripture readings and carol medleys before ending with some rousing hymns of joy! Join us as we celebrate the birth of Christ with choral music, instrumental music, and congregational singing.
