Dominus Est!

This ensemble plays music for the monthly Dominus Est! service. “Dominus Est” is Latin for “It is the Lord!” and refers to the acclamation of the disciples in John 21:7. The service is an hour of praise & worship, Eucharistic Adoration, Benediction, and the opportunity for sacramental Confession. This ensemble rehearses one hour prior to the service. Making music in a contemporary style, all kinds of instruments are welcome. An audition for proper musical placement and the ability to quickly learn music is required. Services are one Tuesday each month at 7:30 p.m. with rehearsal one hour prior.

This video (which includes some SEAS cantors, our very own Director of Music and Liturgy, and scenes from the SEAS sanctuary) was shot over a period of two weeks, and all of the audio was recorded by those involved at home on their cell phones. Everything was then put together in this video.
