A Trinity "Friends of Music" Event
Cantus Novus
Beauty Surrounds Us… with Equality and Peace
Friday, May 8th at 8:00 p.m.
Spring is a time of renewal, of fresh starts, of new life. Spring inspires expectation, awakens the spirit, and stimulates the senses. The desire for equality and peace form the core of our singing in this series of concerts. To paraphrase, where there is peace, beauty, and where there is equality, joy.
Cantus Novus is pleased to present to you a concert of music across the ages. From the golden age of the Renaissance to Bach and the Beatles, the program celebrates diversity in style, compositional form, text, and dynamic expression. Be surrounded by messages of hope, resilience, encouragement, and spirit. Let yourself be surrounded by beauty at our Cantus Novus spring concerts.
Cantus Novus is an auditioned chamber choir based in Bucks County. Founded in 2000 as an intimate group of choral friends gathering in homes to share a love of music, Cantus Novus has grown to be an established musical presence in the Delaware Valley. Our musical focus can best be described as “roots and wings,” with programming spanning several centuries, honoring our “roots,” the rich a cappella choral tradition that springs from the motets of the Renaissance, while our “wings” present audiences with wide-ranging musical offerings from the best of contemporary composers.
May 3, 8 p.m. - Trinity Church Solebury

Centering Prayer has been an active ministry at Trinity since the late 1990's. We practice Centering Prayer in the Chapel weekly on Tuesday mornings from 8 to 8:30 a.m. and all are welcome. Come whenever you can. Centering Prayer is a type of Christian contemplation that provides an opportunity to sit quietly in God’s presence, in stillness for greater awareness of God in our busy daily lives. We intentionally put aside all thoughts of the past and of the future, being aware only of "now". When we meet we remember those in need. We practice 20 minutes of silent meditation. We send cards to those in our prayers. One technique of Centering Prayer employs a sacred word that we each choose on our own. Then we silently recall it to return to God’s presence when we are distracted by thoughts, feelings, and images. In Centering Prayer we believe that the beginning and the end of prayer is learning how to be still before God. Thoughts are the inevitable and normal part of Centering Prayer and by returning to our sacred word we are expressing our "intention to consent to God's presence and action within" (Thomas Keating) Consider coming to Centering Prayer on Tuesdays. It is a gentle retreat, if only for 20 minutes, from our busy daily lives. The Trinity Spiritual Life Ministry |
