Music

Music is central to worship at Saint Michael and All Angels, shaping prayer, forming disciples, and serving the liturgy with beauty and excellence.

Through congregational song, choirs for adults and young people, and special services and concerts, we offer music that helps the Church pray, learn, serve, and give.

Adults, youth, and children all share their musical gifts leading inspiring congregational hymns and service music along with providing anthems, worship songs, and major choral works from many choral and musical genres and periods. Saint Michael is a member of the Royal School of Church Music in America.

Traditional Music at Saint Michael

The music program at Saint Michael and All Angels has a reputation for excellence throughout the Episcopal Church and within the greater Dallas community.

Our Choirs offer unique choral singing opportunities for young children, youth, and adults.

Saint Michael Presents provides high-quality entertaining concerts open to the public free of charge throughout the year.

Contemporary Music at Saint Michael

In Saint Michael Contemporary, you will find music crafted by musicians who have extensive experience in classical, rock, folk, jazz, and a heart to lead worship in the beauty of holiness.

Using guitars, piano, strings, percussion, double bass, and other instruments from all over the world, one may hear a 15th – 18th century hymn, a current worship song, or a song they have heard on the radio in the same service. The music of Saint Michael Contemporary is an exciting blend of sounds that lead in a Christ-centered, rich worship experience connected to an ancient faith that fosters hope for here and now.
