Music
Since its foundation in 1868, music has been integral to the life and worship of St Michael’s Mount Dinham. The design and layout of the church building is a splendid example of sacred Anglican architecture, build to enhance music and the spoke word. St Michael’s unmatched acoustic and the beautiful interior of the church make it a very rewarding and generous place to make music, elevating the experience of all those who enter here.
Choral and organ music is interwoven with the liturgy in all services. Mass and Choral Evensong at St Michael’s are sung by an SATB robed Choir with a repertoire which spans over six centuries. Music is characterised by the use of Plainsong, English and European Renaissance Polyphony and music of the Anglican choral revival from the past 150 years.
Key Festivals with sung liturgy include Candlemas, the Easter Vigil, Ascension Day, Corpus Christi, Michaelmas, All Saint’s Day, All Souls’ Day, the Advent Procession, and Midnight Mass. The ancient office of Tenebrae is sung on Good Friday at sunset from the West Gallery.
