Withing the Choir, many members also play other instruments including flute, recorder, bassoon, tuba, harpsichord and viole de gamba. THe choral repertoire if the Chancle Choir covers a wide range of traditional Church music over a span of 500 years. The music selections are designed to complement and maintain a traditional worship style and provide a worship atmosphere for the Liturgy. During special services of the church, the Chancel Choir adds additional music to the services. Advent II has become a tradition when major choral works are a large part of the Liturgy and the Choir is complemented using several additional singers and other instruments. In the past, Advent III services have included "Ceremony of Carols"(Britten), Buxtehude Cantatas, English Choral Music, an all Bach program, and Handel's Messiah (Advent/Christmas Section). Other services where the musical offerings are enhanced include Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday and several services that celebrate God and Country.
