St Joseph's in Portishead looking for a new Music Director - contact us if you are interested!

 

The Music Service at Clifton has developed a fine heritage of music making in several different styles. We have been featured on all the domestic BBC services as well as internationally over the past few years - and not just with what you may think of as "church" music! So - welcome to our resource from the Music Service at Clifton. We hope to add music links, sound clips and other content as time goes by. We are based at Clifton RC Cathedral in Bristol, a house for the people of God built in 1973 - see www.cliftoncathedral.org.uk to see what we are about and up to. And for the Diocese, www.cliftondiocese.com To hear and subscribe to our Jerusalem Award Winning podcasts, the music by Richard Jeffrey-Gray, go here http://www.cliftondiocese.com/let-us-pod  We came out the winner - against 10 others, including traditional broadcasters such as the BBC - in the new media category.

We have a dynamic music team here at Clifton, who are active outside the Church in music to bring a fresh approach to music in the liturgy. Our team also compose and arrange music for the liturgy in differing styles, so we can truly say that the music we provide is from plainsong to music on which the ink is still wet. Our mission is to bring ourselves and the people we meet closer to God through our music, meeting them where they are in their journey in faith, in their understanding of what music can do for them and with them in the spirit of what we sing for and with them. Although we do do other things too - see www.hoxa.net we sang at the last ever flight of Concorde!
