Music in Our Worship

Music in Kilbarchan East is mainly provided by The Choir accompanied by our organ. 

Our organ is an interesting three-manual instrument, originally a library-organ from a mansion. Information about it is to be found here.

The National Pipe Organ Register is a treasury of information for lovers of the pipe organ! This instrument isn’t large, and dictates the musical possibilities open to us quite closely. Nevertheless, it is a delightful and musicianly instrument, and well suited to the ambitions of choir and congregation.

We also have a splendid Yamaha C3 Grand Piano, supplied by Peter Smith Pianos of Back Sneddon Street, Paisley, the gift of an anonymous donor, and a Yamaha Clavinova, gifted by the Musical Group  (as in: the Group that Puts On Musicals – and this has been another high-aiming area of our musical life; the congregation has benefitted directly from the input of this group to the music-making of Kilbarchan East.) All of this lets us tackle the widest possible range of music, including the most modern, for which our multi-instrument Music Group (still looking for a name! ) sometimes join the music-making.
