Trinity is proud to be the home of

At Trinity, music has always been important -- a pipe organ was the first major furnishing of the church when it was built. (The ladies of the church financed its purchase with a series of chicken dinners). A century ago, Trinity even had its own boychoir.

But what about music at Trinity today?

Our Organ

You may have heard that Trinity Lime Rock has a remarkable organ.

Well, it's not so new anymore -- we've now had it for ten years, but we're still very proud of it, and the story of how we came to have it is an interesting one.

Read the story of how we came to get our new organ, to see pictures of our new organ as it looks at Trinity Lime Rock and to peruse the the manufacturer's specifications.

Here are Judy Brown and some some of the members of her Organ Fact-Finding Committee discussing the committee's work......which led to a great new instrument in record time!!

No, we're certainly not limited to vocal music!

Here's one of our talented parishioners, Caitlynn Watt, with her saxophone a few years ago. Saxophone? Yes! (Think Palm Sunday procession! A great solution for keeping Parishioners and Choir in procession into the Church on key!)

...and here, speaking of Palm Sunday processions, in a picture from the 1970s, is a quartet of Trinity trombones fulfilling the same function. (Click on any of these pictures to see them larger)

You never know when you're going to discover the extent of the talent of our own Trinity kids, right here in our own Sunday School!

This duo performed, with an area teen, at our Christmas Pageant in 2011 (you can hear them here -- on the Christmas Pageant video) -- and we found out that the previous night they had played for the Christmas tree lighting in nearby Sharon!

Here is parishioner Ted Somerville at the organ.

Ted recently -- and very graciously -- called on his organ experience of "quite a few years ago" to help us out while Christine took a well-earned vacation.

A splendid job, Ted! We look forward to your assistance many times in the future!

p.s. Ted also plays the French Horn and has provided us with musical interludes on that instrument as well!

We frequently have baroque instruments accompany us during worship services.

Other guest musicians, too! Here's Doug Schmolze on January 3, 2010
