St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church has been blessed with an abundance
of musical talent. Over the years the choir at St. John has
performed music from Gregorian Chant (a type of music that dates back
centuries), Renaissance, and Baroque, to beautiful modern pieces written
for a church choir. We sing anything from the early polyphonic
motets of Palestrina written in the 16th century, to "Today the Virgin"
by John Tavener written in the 20th century. We are grateful we
have been allowed such talent at such a small church to be able to
perform these wonderful pieces of music for the glory of God and the
enrichment of His people. We are lead by Kantor Holst, who
received his Bachelors of Arts in music from the University of
California in Riverside and is currently working on his Masters of Arts
at California State University Dominguez Hills. Below is an
example of Gregorian Chant as sung by the Monastic Choir of St. Peter's
Abbey, Solesmes. If you are interested in joining our choir please
contact us. We are always happy to have new members. We
accept people of any age, but will require an audition.

St. John Lutheran Church is proud to acknowledge its supporters and
sponsors. We would like to acknowledge Paraclete Press and give
special thanks to St. Peter's Abbey, Solesmes for generously allowing us
to use their recordings for the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ.
