Come hear our very own Chancel Choir sing this exciting work by Glenn McClure. We will be accompanied by members of the Winchester Steel Ensemble based in Canal Winchester. A mass accompanied by Steel Drum, percussion and piano. What more is needed for an exciting World Communion Sunday? Service begins at 10am.

Mr. McClure’s compositional work has driven partnerships between scientists and artists. He recently composed a work for choir and string quartet for the European Space Agency. He worked closely with scientists and mathematicians from the Rosetta Mission to transform orbital data into melodies and harmonies. His music has been featured on several national broadcasts including a 2006 edition of National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.” This story explored his partnership with bestselling author Dava Sobel (Galileo’s Daughter, 1999) that resulted in The Starry Messenger: An Oratorio based on the Letters of Galileo’s Daughter for choir, lute, recorder and string quartet.

Furthermore, his “Santo” from St. Francis in the Americas: A Caribbean Mass was featured in the 2005 broadcast of Enter the Light, the CBS Christmas Special. Mr. McClure’s musical setting of “Cantico di Frate Sole” is featured in Francis of Assisi, The Great Courses (www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/francis-of-assisi.html), with lectures by Dr. William Cook and Dr. Ronald Herzman.
