Worship Conference 2008


In recent decades there has appeared to be a sharp divide between the liturgical traditions of the older classical and Reformation Churches on the one hand, and the worship of the newer Pentecostal and charismatic churches on the other. In this conference scholars and practitioners representing both sides of this apparent divide come together to explore the place and understanding of the Holy Spirit in their respective worship traditions.

Hear an ISM Performance

The ISM Organ Faculty, Profs. Thomas Murray and Martin Jean are active recitalists and recording artists. In addition to annual recitals at Yale, they both tour extensively throughout the United States and Europe. The organ recordings feature the Newberry Organ in Yale's Woolsey Hall as well as the Baroque organ by Taylor & Boody, Organbuilders in the West Gallery of St.Thomas Church, New York City.

The choral pieces are taken from performances by the Yale Schola Cantorum and the Yale Camerata. The Yale Camerata performed and recorded music of the late Calvin Hampton, the noted organist, choral director and composer at Calvary Episcopal Church (Manhattan) which was conducted by Marguerite L. Brooks and guest conductor, Rodney V. Ayers (then a student at the Institute of Sacred Music).

Below, you can hear performances by all these artists, by clicking on the highlighted links. These excerpts use Realaudio's streaming sound.
