CLOSING TO JESUS CHRIST OUR SOVEREIGN KING (FOLLOWING PAGE) ICH GLAUB AN GOTT CHILDRENS SCHOLA CANTORUM, MEN S SCHOLA, AND LADIES SCHOLA! We are pleased to continue the cathedral Ladies Schola this Fall at St. Paul s. The Ladies Schola is for women from high school age and up who have an interest in Gregorian Chant, music for womens ensembles, and/or a group with a less demanding schedule than the Cathedral Choir. No previous experience is necessary. The Ladies Schola will meet concurrently with the Men s Schola from 5:15-6:00pm on Wednesdays beginning September 6. So, bring your husband or significant other and he can sing with...the cathedral Men s Schola! Similar to Ladies Schola, the Men s Schola focuses on Gregorian Chant and easy polyphonic works. Rehearsal is from 5:15-6:00pm on Wednesdays beginning September 6; the liturgical schedule of the Schola is made in consultation with its members, singing once or twice a month. Finally, the Children s Schola Cantorum continues this year. Open to any child from grade three up, this ensemble is an ideal introduction to the sacred music and liturgical thought of the Church. Children learn fluency in Gregorian and modern musical notation, with a focus on healthy singing methods and liturgical catechesis. The Children s Schola sings monthly for weekend Masses at the cathedral and rehearses (beginning August 29) on Wednesdays from 3:45-4:30PM. Interested parents should contact the Director of Music for more information (contact listed above).
