Saint Mary’s Women’s Schola
St. Mary's Women's Schola
The St. Mary’s Women’s Schola sings on a rotating schedule with the other St. Mary’s choral ensembles at the 5:00 P.M. Saturday Mass.
The Women’s Schola sings the anthems, the psalm and Gospel verses as well as the Introit, Offertory and Communion antiphons. This fine ensemble sings in other languages and in Latin in particular. The type of music that the Women’s Schola sings ranges from ancient chant through the high Renaissance, and extends into selected appropriate music of the modern age.
Membership in this fine ensemble is open to all women beginning at age 16. A friendly audition by the choirmaster will ask prospective singers to demonstrate a pleasant singing voice and basic requirements of aural/tonal memory, pitch-matching. Singers do not have to be members of St. Mary’s Church to participate.
Contact the Choirmaster, Arlen Clarke for further details.
