With the direction of Kaye Crichlow, Organist/Choir Master, the
choir and musicians have weekly practice and warm-up before the 11 o'clock services.
Kaye has a bachelor in Music from Centenary College with a major in Piano and a
minor in pipe organ. A life-long Episcopalian, she was our church organist from 1981
unti 1987, leaving to spend more time with her children. Before returning to St.
James in 2007, Kaye had served as organist at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church and assistant
organist at the Cathedral of St. John Berchmans.
Music is a part of all 11 o'clock services at St. James.
On the third Sunday of each month the music style is contemprary with strings and
percussion accompanying the singers. On all other Sundays, the music is more
traditional with organ and choir.
Music at St. James is an integral part of our worship
experience and parish life. Music, selected to reflect the liturgical seasons and
lectionary texts for each Sunday liturgy, is used regularly as a part of the 11:00 service
on Sundays and on major feast days. Our traditional choir with organ accompaniment by
choir director, Kaye Crichlow, performs at most Sunday services.
One Sunday a month contemporary Christian music
is performed by the Praise Team along with the choir accompanied by guitars, drum, chimes
and organ.
