MUSIC MINISTRY

Music is a vital part of our worship services at Gaetz. Our worship service may include music from our Le’tourneau Opus 17 Pipe Organ, our Baldwin Grand Piano, the Sanctuary Choir, Synergy Worship Band, Handbells or guest musicians. Our groups are intergenerational and we welcome and encourage the expression of musical gifts and talents.


We use the following hymn books: Voices United, More Voices, and Songs for the Holy.




Our Centennial Pipe Organ (Létourneau, Opus 17, 1987)


Of all musical instruments, none compare to the organ. The size and complexity of the instrument, the vast array of sounds, the wide range of dynamics, the emotion it inspires, the 2,600 years of history, the physical demands it places on the organist – all contribute to its uniqueness. Unquestionably, it is the King of Instruments.


It was built by M. Fernand Létourneau of St. Hyacinth, Quebec and was his first installation in western Canada. His pipe organs have now been installed all over the world from Canada to the Chapel Royal in the Tower of London, to St. Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney, Australia. His most noteworthy organ is the Davis Concert Organ in the Francis Winspear Centre in Edmonton.


We are indeed fortunate to have an organ of this quality in our church. It is highly praised by visiting organists who have had the opportunity to play it. Choirs and organists always look forward to the Gaetz experience.
