Holy Week Music
Do you enjoy singing? Do you play an instrument? Do you have another musical gift to share at Canterbury?
We welcome all musicians (young and old, trained and untrained, amateur and professional) to support the prayer and worship of Canterbury in song! We especially welcome your presence and musical leadership for our upcoming Holy Week services.
Below are resources to help you prepare. In addition to sheet music, a variety of audio recordings are provided for those who learn best by ear. Please take time to familiarize yourself with the music prior to our rehearsals. Remember: Musical practice IS Spiritual practice! May your musical practice and participation in our Holy Week services enable you to connect ever more deeply with the mysteries of this Holy Week.
