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 at least twice a month.
The St. Maximus Choir has been under the direction of Subdeacon Anthony Stokes since the parish's beginning in July 2001. The choir has seen many changes over the years, from the days of having three female and one male voice, to today's choir of six male voices and four female voices.
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 of Dallas and the South, OCA. 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. The Sunday Octoechos will eventually contain at least the introductory verses at
Lord, I have cried and the
Praises, as well as
God is the Lord and the Matins
Prokeimenon for Vigil, and the Liturgy
Prokeimenon and
Alleluia.
Please feel free to contact Subdeacon Anthony with any questions about the St. Maximus Choir or the settings found on this page -
