Mozart Coronation Mass Sunday, May 16, 10:00 am The Eliot Church Chancel Choir, soloists, and orchestra presented Mozart’s Coronation Mass during our worship service. The “Coronation” mass was completed on March 23, 1779. It was composed for the crowning of an image of the Virgin in the Cathedral of Salzburg. It was premiered on Easter Sunday April 4, 1779. It is scored for SATB soloists and chorus, 2 violins, 2 oboes, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and organ. The Coronation Mass is one of the most popular of Mozart's 17 mass settings. All present rejoiced in the pageantry of this masterful work with the Eliot Church music ministry!
David Castillo Mini Organ Recital Sunday, May 2 Our music minister David Castillo “pulled out the stops” during a mini concert right after worship. The program included the Prelude and Fugue in C Major by Bach, magnificent toccatas by Buxtehude and Pachelbel, and a set of choral preludes. A grand time was had by all.
