Schola Cantorum
This ancillary group of musicians takes its membership
from the Saint Thomas Aquinas Choir. Members provide soli for large
choral works. Occasionally, they perform, as an ensemble, singing
chamber choral works. An audition is necessary for consideration
into membership.
Schola Cantorum Gregorii
Each Saturday afternoon this small ensemble, consisting
of men from the Saint Thomas Aquinas Choir and Saint Francis de
Sales Ensemble, study and rehearse plainchant repertoire for performance
for Mass and in concert. They sing at the Saturday Vigil Mass. They are frequent performers at the Cathedral Guadalupe, Dallas. An audition, as well as experience with the choirmaster, are prerequisites
for membership. An initial probationary period is required of new
members. Their rehearsals are at 3 pm Saturdays throughout the entire year. Consistent, regular attendance is required for continued
membership.
