stunning
music
saint
augustine (a bishop in the 5th century) said that "he who sings,
prays twice". the 17th
century priest and poet john donne said that in heaven there would be "neither
noise nor silence, but one equal music".
since the beginning, music has been at the heart of christian worship.
its reconciliation of high and low, sharp and flat notes in melody -
without any being obliterated - reflects the reconciliation of all things in
heaven. music lifts our hearts and
minds and makes our spirits more attentive.
the
saint nicholas singers are a quintet of professional musicians formed in 1985 to
provide occasional choral music at liverpool parish church.
they sing regularly on radio 4’s daily service and performed on songs
of praise after the asian tsunami in 2004. they
will be lifting our worship at six@nick’s with mass settings, motets and
psalms.
