Music at St. Mark's Hallelujah! Praise God in the holy temple; praise God in the mighty firmament. Praise God for mighty acts; praise God for exceeding greatness. Praise God with trumpet sound; praise God with lyre and harp. Praise God with tambourine and dance; praise God with strings and pipe. Praise God with resounding cymbals; praise God with loud-clanging cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah! Psalm 150
St. Mark's has historically been a parish in which music has been a valued part of worship life. Ever since the church was founded in 1860, the parish had a distinguished quartet of soloists and the use of prominent organists.
The current Cantor (organist and choir director) of St. Mark's Church is
Mr. James Harp, who has been here since January 1987. Mr. Harp has done much to establish and maintain a high and lively level of music-making at St. Mark's, particularly within the highly liturgical framework for which our church is well-known. Of the many great singers that have graced the St. Mark's choir over the years, certainly the most famous is the great James Morris, star of the Metropolitan Opera, who is considered the greatest Wagnerian basso of our time.

In addition to providing the highest caliber of instrumental and choral music for Sunday services of Holy Communion, St. Mark's also sponsors the St. Cecilia Series, a monthly concert series. |
