Music at Saint Timothy's Church
selected by George Tobias, Organist / Choirmaster
It's always enjoyable (and educational) to look at just what music is being used in neighboring churches... or churches across the country.
We can learn a great deal about liturgical programming, about seasonal appropriateness, and about what music is available ... some of which may be tucked away in our own libraries! Here's a season's worth of music planned for Saint Timothy's Episcopal Church in Roxborough PA, where George Tobias is Organist/Choirmaster.
