'The King of Instruments'

W.A. Mozart called the Church Organ the "King of Instruments" since it was designed to be a one-man orchestra at that time. Thanks to all those who donated and prayed for this campaign. Now continue to pray for a quick delivery before Easter! Below is a picture and links to details about the Johannus Opus 17 which is coming soon to St. Bartholomew's.

Also, here is a video of Variations on 'God Save the Queen' played on this same organ.

A timeless piece to get everyone into the pre-Lenten Season...

A New Place

Welcome to your new blog!

Voces in Silvae, meaning Voices in the Forest, is an appropriate name for site where we will be able to spread information about the glorification of God by music within the Parish of St. Bartholomew in the "forest" area of Woodinville.

I plan to have most, if not all, the music we sing assessible from this sight. This includes everything from sheet music, recordings, to sound files of seperate parts. I hope that all these tools will be helpful in our duty of bringing sanctity and reverence to Christ in the Most Holy Eucharist.

Please feel to contact me with any questions or comments at ref.scott@gmail.com, and I look forward to working with all of you soon.

In Christ,
Scott Powell
