Dr.
William J. Gatens, Organist-Choirmaster
At the Church of the Good Shepherd, we
strive to maintain a standard of musical worship appropriate to the
"beauty of holiness" that is so much a part of our
Anglo-Catholic tradition. Choral music is drawn mainly from the English
cathedral repertory along with Latin church music and works from other
traditions customarily adopted for Anglican use. The Parish Choir
consists mostly of volunteers with professional section leaders on each
of the principal parts. Anyone interested in joining the Parish Choir is
encouraged to contact the Organist-Choirmaster.
