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.
The Baptism of Jesus
From stillness and expectation to the waters that claim us.
January 11, 2026
Programming notes for the Baptism of Jesus Sunday at UCC Keene, featuring Arvo Pärt, Hildegard von Bingen, Samuel Barber, and a congregational postlude of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.
