Chancel Choir Anthems in Date Order - Chancel Choir Members

          This page is a work in progress. I am slowing going through all of the Church Service Bulletins in the Church Archives. There are a few selected titles listed here from 1991-1999, some of which are extended length Christmas or Easter works. Performances of seven other works in the 1894-1986 period were documented in the 1999 FCC History book.
          This page lists title, composer and date(s) only. See the "in Date Order" pages (or select a year) for possible instrumentalists, soloists, and accompanists / directors, if other than Joanne Peterson, who performed with the Choir on each anthem.
          Progress Report: or where to look for anthems being added to this page.

title (in bold) = extended length Christmas or Easter works
