Director of Music and Choirmaster

Prince of Peace Catholic Church

Taylors, SC • On-site

$65K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 7 hours ago

Job description

Prince of Peace Catholic Church is seeking applicants for the position of Director of Music and Choirmaster to continue our parish's renowned sacred music program, comprising five choirs, two organs, and three weekly sung Masses. The full-time Director of Music oversees and collaborates with the full-time Associate Director of Music and Organist, who currently handles organ needs for all liturgies, as well as the part-time Pastoral Associate for Children's Music (jointly appointed as music teacher of our parish school). The Director's musical responsibilities are first and foremost as a choral director, leading the semi-professional adult choir, the Gregorian chant schola serving our weekly Latin Mass, and the youth and children's choirs in collaboration with the children's music specialist. Our ideal candidate is an exceptional choral director and singer with extensive knowledge of Catholic liturgy and sacred music, including Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony of all eras, who excels equally at high-level music making with professional musicians and at building a musical culture with volunteer singers of all ages.
Our parish, located in the beautiful and thriving Greenville, SC, area, is a dynamic and growing parish that relishes the liturgical traditions and musical inheritance of our Catholic faith. Our church is currently served by a 2002 Allen Renaissance digital organ, as well as our newest addition, a beautiful 2025 Klop continuo organ. Our choral rehearsal space is home to a recently refurbished Bechstein concert grand piano originally purchased in Germany to accompany Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
Our sung liturgies include a Saturday 5p cantor-and-organ Mass, a Sunday 10a choir-and-organ Mass (for which the adult choir, youth choir, or children's choirs sing on rotation), and a Sunday 12n Latin Mass with full Gregorian ordinary and proper sung by our St. Gregory schola. Our St. Cecilia adult choir currently includes nine paid choral scholars and a number of very fine volunteers and typically sings two motets per week as well as choral mass settings for the major feasts of the year, often with instrumental accompaniment. In the past three years, this has included the Byrd: Mass for Five , Charpentier: Messe de Minuit , Kerll: Requiem , Palestrina: Missa Papae Marcelli , H. Praetorius: Missa Benedicam Dominum , Reed: Missa Verbum caro (premiere), Rheinberger: Cantus Missae , ed. Haazen: Missa Luba , Howells: Collegium Regale Communion Service , Michna: Missa super 'Již slunce z hvêzdy vyšlo,' and Monteverdi: Messa da Cappella , in addition to numerous ambitious polyphonic motets. The choral year typically runs from Labor Day to Corpus Christi, with only cantors in the summer months.
Classification: Exempt, Full-Time (includes evening and weekend hours)
Salary Range: $65,000+, plus benefits, commensurate with education and experience. Weddings and funerals remunerated separately.
Qualifications
A bachelor's degree in music is required, and a master's degree in choral conducting or sacred music strongly preferred.
Required Skills

  • Intimate knowledge of Catholic sacred music and liturgy in both the Ordinary and Extraordinary forms, including Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony
  • Excellent singing ability and ability to train singers of all ages
  • Sufficient keyboard skills to rehearse choirs and cantors; some facility at the organ preferred
