MUSIC FOR AGES 8 THROUGH 80 AT THE CATHEDRAL! Our Children s Schola Cantorum resumed rehearsal August 29. Its purpose is to provide quality choral and vocal training for boys and girls from grade 3 up in an authentically Catholic setting that emphasizes the traditional music of the Latin Rite (Gregorian chant, sacred polyphony, and modern music in these genres). It is open to all children who can commit to a weekly rehearsal and frequent performances. Parents of all new and returning members should contact the Director of Music as soon as possible (see contact info below). The Cathedral Choir, our main liturgical choir, resumed rehearsal on Wednesday, August 30 at 6:30PM. New members are welcomed! The Cathedral Choir sings weekly at the 11AM Mass, presenting the Gregorian chant repertoire, sacred polyphony, and other appropriate liturgical music. Prospective members must be able to read music (and be open to learning Gregorian notation), be able to commit to weekly rehearsal and Sunday Mass, and must contact the Director of Music in advance of the first rehearsal for a low-stress audition. The Ladies Schola focuses on the Gregorian chant repertoire and simple polyphonic works for women s chorus. Membership is open to all ladies (grade 9 and up) who can commit to regular rehearsal; the schola will sing for occasional weekend Masses and other parish liturgies. Ladies Schola meets concurrently with Men s Schola on Wednesdays from 5:15-6:00PM. The first rehearsal will take place on Wednesday, September 6. For more information, contact the Director of Music. The Men s Schola is a small, non-auditioned group of men who learn the Gregorian chant repertoire along with basic polyphonic works for men s choir. Membership is open to all men who can commit to regular rehearsal and are in grade 9 or older. It is a great group for building fraternity with other parishioners and learning more about the only truly Catholic musical repertoire one that has inspired the whole corpus of Western music. Men s Schola meets on Wednesday from 5:15-6:00PM. The first rehearsal will take place on Wednesday, September 6. Please contact the Director of Music for more information.
