Compline
Choir
This
schola cantorum sings Gregorian chant and polyphonic choral music
in a late Sunday evening service of Compline. The choir will sing
every Sunday evening beginning on August 24 and continuing through
December 7. While sight reading skills do not have to be highly
developed, it is necessary to be able to sing easily on pitch
and to sing complex musical lines in unison with other singers
and without instrumental accompaniment. The ability to match vowels
and to place consonants precisely as requested by the conductor
is important. New singers are needed for all parts and are welcome
after a meeting with Dr. Quinn. The first rehearsal is on Sunday,
August 26 at 8:00 p.m followed by the sung service at 9:30. The
choirmaster and choir also need others to assist with the practical
details of the service: the incense, candles, setting up and taking
down the devotional articles and practical equipment required
in this service. Please let us know if you are interested in helping.
More details about our Compline service itself are available from
the Compline page at this site.
