Mr. Hudson Moss,
Organist/Choirmaster
Mr. Hudson Moss comes to us from the Cathedral of St. Philip, where he has been serving as a staff singer, singing countertenor for two years. As a part of his post-baccalaureate program at the Cathedral, he sang in the Cathedral Singers, Cathedral Choir, and Schola ensembles, and he also taught in the Cathedral’s Royal School of Church Music program. He attended Eastman’s Summer Organ Academy in the summer of 2023 and the 49th annual Conference for Organists & Choirmasters in spring of 2024 at St. Thomas Fifth Avenue in New York City. He has been studying organ for two years under Dr. Caroline Robinson of the Cathedral of St. Philip (now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Organ at the University of Michigan) and he studied piano with Mr. James Maase. At the parish of Mary Mother of God Catholic Church in his hometown in Arkansas, he served as an accompanist for the choir and cantor for two years. As a high school student, he helped direct his school’s Schola Cantorum, which provided music leadership during school-wide masses.
Mr. Moss's undergraduate degree is from the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he received his Bachelor of Science in Economics and Earth Sciences and was an accompanist with the Georgia Tech choirs. He is attending Mercer University on a full fellowship to study for his Masters in Music, studying organ performance with Dr. Jack Mitchener in conjunction with his work here at Church of Our Saviour.
In his free time, he is an avid reader, especially of philosophy and religious studies (his favorite thinkers include Simone Weil, Emmanuel Levinas, and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel). When not reading or practicing, he enjoys running on the beltline and hanging out with his partner and friends.
The St. Gregory Choir
The St. Gregory Choir is open to anyone from teenagers to adults who wish to make a joyful noise!
Currently the choir meets for a brief rehearsal before mass and then a longer rehearsal after mass to rehearse music for the upcoming weeks. Email Mr. Moss (ocm@coosatl.org) for more information, or if you have questions.
The St. Cecilia Children’s Choir
Children aged 6 and up are invited to be in our newly-formed St. Cecilia Children’s Choir!
The choir currently rehearses in the choir room during the mass from 9:50 am until about 10:20 am during the school year. Children learn to match pitch, sing correct rhythms, and receive lessons in basic music theory by playing games. They are taught basic scriptural and theological concepts as related to the songs they sing. Children are returned to their parents in Holy Mass at the Gospel.
The choir sings periodically at mass during the year. Choir practice resumes September 8 and will continue until May 11. Click here for a full schedule.
