An ongoing record of the music programmed each Sunday at the United
Church of Christ in Keene, New Hampshire — composers, pieces, bulletin notes, and,
as they accumulate, recordings. The programming is adventurous on purpose:
the church has built a culture of listening that supports unusual repertoire,
and this archive exists to document the work as it happens.
