Special Music

Each Sunday service includes some special music, either instrumental or vocal. Frequently the Prelude and Offertory are instrumental and then the choir, a soloist or a special ensemble will provide some additional music. The music comes from a wide variety of sources and styles that will touch or move the listener in some unique way.

Choir Concert:  Requiem by Clif Hardin

Requiem, by composer Clif Hardin, was the principal work performed in a Concert of Celebration and Remembrance at the The Unitarian Church of Baton Rouge on Sunday, November 6, 2011. The performance, honoring the founders and those who have sustained the church through these 60 years,  was part of the year-long celebration of the Church’s 60th Anniversary.  Director Marie Flowers directed the Youth Choir, and Ila Stoltzfus directed the Adult Choir.

 Past Special Events

In the spring of 2009, the Adult Choir was invited to premiere selected works from the Missa Vitae, text by Rev. Mark Belletini and music by Wally Kleucker. We performed the Credo on March 29 with soloist Helen Hoffpauir and our Hand Bell ensemble directed by Sally Wood. On Easter Sunday the acapella choir sang the Gloria and the Sanctus. These three anthems, directed by Ila Stoltzfus can be heard on the audio page of this website.
