The Music From All Souls CD is available online
Welcome to the music of All Souls! Joyful music is central to our life together at All Souls. The rhythms and melodies contained on this CD come from the many cultures that make up our diverse congregation.
The All Souls Choir was founded as one of the first multiracial choirs in Washington, DC. Today the choir celebrates a half century of musical excellence, singing a repertoire as diverse as the membership of All Souls Church. The artistic versatility of the singers allows the ensemble to perform everything from ancient church chant to Faure to spirituals to South African songs, jazz and gospel.
