Church On The Hill - Boston Society of the New Jerusalem, Beacon Hill, Boston.

Openings for Tenor,

Bass/Baritone, and Soprano in a twelve voice ensemble.
All of the singers are professional artists, so you will not be working as a section leader; but as a member
of an ensemble. There will be many opportunities to perform solos throughout the church year. This job
involves singing for church services on Sunday mornings. The rehearsals take place on Sunday from 9:30
a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and the services take place from 11:00 to 12:00 noon.
To set up an audition please contact: Carlton Doctor at 617-620-8304 or garden.no3@rcn.com.

The Adult Choir is the primary parish choir at Christ Church, and auditions are open to singers of all
ages. The Adult Choir leads the singing and other liturgical aspects of the 10:15 a.m. Eucharist each
Sunday, plus special services such as Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, the Christmas Eve Midnight
Eucharist, and the standing-room-only Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. Music at Sunday services
typically includes two anthems, plus leadership in a psalm, hymns, and service music. Rehearsals take
place on Wednesday evenings at 7:159:15 p.m. The finest repertoire is drawn from the last five
hundred years of choral composition around the world. Singers are required to have some reading
ability to audition. The choir currently has 35 volunteer members and meets from September through
early June.
The Evensong Choir was founded by Stuart Forster in 2000, and consists of 40 singers with strong sightreading ability. Choral Evensong is sung at 4:00 p.m. on the first Sunday of the month, October through
May, and the choir also participates in Holy Week services and the Festival of Nine Lessons and
Carols. There are two 7:159:15 p.m. rehearsals per month on Tuesday evenings. In each Evensong
service, music articulates the stages of the Rite 1 Office of Evening Prayer, a time-honored service not
offered regularly by any other church in the Greater Boston area. Repertoire is drawn from the last five
centuries of choral composition, focusing largely on six- to eight-part music of the cathedral
tradition. This professional-standard volunteer choir enjoyed its first international tour last year, which
included singing services in six of the great English cathedrals. CCCs first CD, Vesper Light, was recorded
live on tours to some of Americas treasured ecclesiastical establishments.
The Youth Choir is for children in grades 3 through 8. Choristers learn to read music and practice proper
technique to lead to healthy vocal development. The Youth Choir helps to lead the 10:15 a.m. Eucharist
each Sunday morning, singing hymns, service music, and an anthem each week. These anthems include
trebles-only repertoire and selections from the vast collection of SATB music with the Adult Choir.
Rehearsals take place on Wednesday afternoons, including a little social time, setup, music theory, and a
lot of singing, beginning at 5:00 p.m. and ending at 6:45 p.m. Parties, outings, and fun make constant
appearances in our September-through-June calendar!
