MUSIC NOTES
By David Henry
The Church of the Transfiguration has a long tradition of integrating significant musical works into its Sunday and festive liturgies. The complex history of this music is an interesting study in its own right, but can also assist the worshiper by providing a specific context for the music as it heard within the liturgy. Music has rightly been called "the handmaid of the liturgy," and as such should never overpower or distract from the liturgy it serves.

These Notes are meant to provide some historical and contextual perspective on the music of a given Sunday. Originated by Fr. Charles Miller, rector of the church, they are presently being written by David Henry, a member of the parish who holds an MA in musicology from Yale University and has an extensive background in organ, harpsichord and liturgical music.
