Welcome to the choir page at St. Maximus the Confessor Orthodox Church in Denton, Texas. Members of the St. Maximus choir sing at all services throughout a typical week. Choir rehearsals are held Saturdays before Vigil and Sunday mornings before Liturgy.
Since September 2023, the choir at St. Maximus has been under the direction of Katherine Frederick. From the parish's founding in July 2001 through August 2023, the choirs were led by Dn. Anthony Stokes.
The music provided on this page is just a sample of what we sing at St. Maximus. All Liturgy texts are from the Priest's Service Book translated by Archbishop Dmitri. Other texts have been adapted to fit the same style of English. The Obikhod schematics are given in the settings that we sing at St. Maximus. They are not the only way that some of the tones may be sung.
In 2016, our choir released a recording from a concert performance of music from the Paschal season. You can stream the album at the links below, or purchase CDs at the St. Maximus Church Bookstore.
