The music on this website is from the repertoire of the English Choir of Saint John the Baptist Cathedral, Washington, DC. Although I generally have a strong preference for chant-based music, in choosing what music to make available on this website, I have decided to be over-inclusive, including both our obikhod chant based repertoire, and that which is more modern and freely composed. This decision has been made in order to make more repertoire available in English, but I strongly suggest that choirs stick to chant based repertoire for the most part. Note that for many arrangements, I have changed the key from the original, added or taken away voice parts, and even re-written some sections of music completely where I felt it was necessary to meet the needs of my choir. Also, in the interest of making the music available more quickly, I have often left out dynamic markings that were in the original. My sincere thanks to Mary Bauman for her typesetting and editing efforts. I am happy to receive any questions, suggestions, or requests at  jaredbrewer@gmail.com

With love in Christ,  
Jared Brewer
