Music Recordings
Our Sunday services and most of our concerts given by our own choirs and music staff are recorded with permanently installed technical equipment. These “in-house” CDs of our concerts and services may be requested from the music office. Purchase price is only a basic amount to cover the cost of the disc, case, and copying process.
Some of the recent unedited live recordings of our Chancel Choir available at a nominal fee:
WCLV / UCC Choral Challenge (30-min live radio broadcast, 5/10/08)
Washington National Cathedral Services and Concert 7/13/08 and 7/15/08
Evensongs & Concerts: 11/13/05, 10/14/07, 11/11/07
Two professional CD recordings of our choirs are available through our church office for $17 each. Choral music and hymnody in the context of worship is important to the Christ Church community. To that end, our two professional recordings feature a body of “congregational song” for two seasons of the liturgical year that have not been so widely observed in the Reformed traditions, namely: Advent and the Great Fifty Days of Eastertide.
Here at Christ Church many worshipers have grown into a meaningful appreciation for the previously unfamiliar hymns—ancient and modern—due to the opportunity to listen to our recordings and to become “friends” with the rich heritage of music for these two seasons.
Please take note of these offerings and consider their value to your own faith, or as gifts to your friends and loved ones.
