It is the vision of the St. Andrew’s Music Program to ennoble our collective praise and enhance the beauty of worship at St. Andrew’s through liturgically appropriate musical expression that is prepared with thoughtfulness and rendered with excellence.
And the cream of all my heart, I will bring thee.”
-George Herbert (1593-1633)
Anglican Priest and Poet
Led by Choirmaster Timothy J. Krueger and organist Ralph Valentine, the St. Andrew’s Choir of 35 auditioned singers is one of the finest church choirs in the region and is committed to the Anglican and Catholic musical traditions of the last 1000 years. The level of excellence for which we strive, dedicated to the glory of God and to the building up of God’s Church through worship, is achieved by the laudable effort of musically talented individuals and their commitment to the regular discipline of rehearsals and services as they are held at St. Andrew’s.
The provision of music for Sunday morning Eucharist is the principal sacramental mission of the Choir; however, weekly services of Evensong on Thursdays at 5:30 pm are a secondary focus. These meditative services, modeled on the ancient and contemplative offices of monastic Christianity, provide the parish and the downtown Denver community with a weekly opportunity to experience this kind of spirituality. We invite all, even if committed to another church, to experience this service as a supplemental opportunity for worship.
Choral Evensong
Evensong is sung every Thursday (except June-August) at 5:30 pm. in the church. On the first Thursday of every month and other “high” occasions, it is offered by full choir and organ. On the remaining Thursdays a professional quartet fills the resonant acoustics of the church with glorious, generally a cappella music.
