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 from around the end of August through early December. 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, or contact Dr. Quinn for more information.
