Music at St. Paul’s
The Parish Choir—composed of dedicated volunteers—leads the music at High Mass every Sunday from September through May. Our musical offerings include plainsong chanted by clergy, sacred motets sung by the choir, congregational hymns and Mass settings, and organ voluntaries.
The repertoire spans from medieval chant to Baroque, Classical, and Romantic works, as well as contemporary sacred compositions.
During Sunday’s Misa en Español, parishioners sing along with live or recorded music.
At St. Paul’s, our members have opportunities to seek God through these many different musical styles, or through no music at all.

The Organ
Ruffatti Pipes
Grand Piano
St. Paul’s hybrid organ combines original pipes with digitally sampled sounds. In 2025, we installed a custom-designed four-manual console, created by our organist in partnership with Rogers Organ Company. Modeled after an English Cathedral organ, it complements our Anglo-Catholic liturgy.
The original Ruffatti pipework from the 1970s was revoiced in 2025 to blend seamlessly with the new digital voices. The organ now features expanded tonal versatility and modern capabilities, including recording/playback, 1,000 memory levels, MIDI integration, and more
The 7′ Kawai competition grand piano was given to the church in 2008 through the generosity of an anonymous member. The piano is the first placed in the church.
In addition to providing a place for weekly music in worship, St. Paul’s has provided a home for a variety of local musical groups.
The Savannah Children’s Choir was founded in 2006 by parishioners of St. Paul’s, and met there from 2006 until 2014 until the choir outgrew the space.
The Goliards, specializing in Renaissance and Medieval music, was the Ensemble in Residence, rehearsing and performing at St. Paul’s.
We also welcome requests for performing groups visiting Savannah.
