  • Youth Choirs @ 
    Parish of the holy eucharist  

    “If you want to make something beautiful for God,
    it involves the effort of all your mind, heart, soul and strength.”
     

    - Mary Ann Carr-Wilson



    At Parish of the Holy Eucharist, our Youth Choirs are becoming a vital and vibrant part of our parish-wide music program.  It is at this level that the music ministers of tomorrow receive their initial musical, liturgical, and spiritual formation.  Our young singers (known as choristers) are not simply the future faces of our Church's music ministry - they offer songs of praise to God and joyfully serve our parish community in the present!

    If you attend mass at any one of our four churches, your children are able to enroll in our youth choirs program!  All it takes is a willingness to commit to weekly rehearsals in Yarmouth (Oct-May) and Mass once a month at Sacred Heart (where the choristers sing accompanied by the grand Jardine Organ) approximately 6 times throughout the year.  Your child's musical and spiritual formation will blossom!

    Youth Choir often sings the 2nd or 3rd Sunday of the month, October - May,  at the 11 AM Mass at Sacred Heart, Yarmouth & at special parish wide events, during Advent/Christmas;  Lent and Palm Sunday.

    Open to Grades 1-High School, treble voices



    Below, you will find information about the different choirs in our Youth Choir program, along with links to our 2019-2020 online registration form.

    We are members of the Federation for Catholic Youth Choirs known as
    PUERI CANTORES!!!

    Next Pueri Cantores Festival Trip to Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, MA
    Youth and Jubilate Scholas

    Saturday, March 21, 2020

     

    WHY d o we call our Youth Choirs a  SCHOLA ?

    Well, schola in Latin means "school," so, a school of singers is a Schola Cantorum (sko'-la kan-to'-room).  This tradition goes all the way back to Pope Saint "Gregory the Great" who desired to have chant sung as perfectly and beautifully, as possible. (If you want to know more about Pope Gregory I, check out the link at the bottom right.)  It was he who is credited with the final verison of how sung church music, or Gregorian chant, looks on the page.
    (see image at right. Beautiful isn't it?)

    Our reasons for singing in Church are to more fully experience our Catholic tradition, develop our singing ability, express our love for God, and share our treasure with the congregation and community. Have any of you ever said Mass is boring?  Well, if you don't know your "lines" it can be a very nerve-wracking experience!  We, as Catholics, young and old, are called to participate as fully and actively as can be, and the parts we've been given are plentiful!  If Saint Augustine is known for saying, "He who sings, prays twice," then it stands to reason that if we sing all our responses at Church with an open and joyful heart then God will be pleased and we will have had a beautiful experience at Mass.

    WHY SHOULD MY CHILD JOIN the Scholas @ POTHE?
    (based on recommendations of The Choristers of St. Adelaide's, Peabody, MA)

    Reason #1:  Learn the Mass
    Choristers will learn first and foremost about the structure of the Mass and their lines within it, leading to full, active and conscious participation of the liturgy through song.
    Reason #2: Faith Formation
    Choristers will prepare music for liturgy but will also rehearse virtues of the Christian/Catholic life (justice, peace, devotion and service) at each and every rehearsal.
    Reason #3: Free Music Lessons
    Do you pay yearly for private music lessons at 317 Music School, Portland Conservatory, at your home or elsewhere? Do you belong to a community children's choir where there is a yearly tuition?  Good for you!  These are valuable experiences for sure, so consider the free music education the choristers receive in solfege, music reading, chant, proper diction, vocal technique and theory right here in your own Parish at virtually no cost!
    Reason #4: Foreign Languages
    Latin is the official language of the church and the choristers will learn how to sing all the basic parts of the mass (the Ordinary) in both English and Latin.  Technology has made access to other countries and cultures as close as the screen on your device, so the importance of being fluent in other languages has never been more relevant.  In addition to Latin, choristers will sing in a host of other languages - Greek, French, Spanish, even Swahili - truly experiencing the music of the Universal Church!
    Reason #5: Major Seasons & Feasts: Advent/Christmas, Lent/Palm Sunday, Eastertide/May Crowning/Pentecost
    The music of Christmas and the many beautiful descants you hear on the radio and tv during that Season is definintely something this year's Choristers will learn.  But in addition they will learn music specific to Advent, Lent, Palm Sunday, Eastertide, May Crowing and Pentecost.  The musical landscape of the church year is vast, varied, and richly spiritual.  Choristers will journey through all these landscapes and grow both musically and spiritually.
    Reason #6: Pueri Cantores
    The Parish of the Holy Eucharist Youth Music Ministry joined Pueri Cantores in 2018.  Pueri Cantores is the official international organization of Roman Ctholic youth choirs, under the Vatican Dicastery of the Laity, Family, and Life.  I am excited for us to join this amazing musical organization which is rich with resources and travel opportunity. 

    In March, 2020 our Jubilate and Youth Scholas (Grades 4 and up) will attend the New England Pueri Cantores Festival at Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, MA. The Festival will conclude with Mass at the Cathedral where our Choristers will join with other Catholic choirs from all over New England. 
    Reason #7: Concert Series and collaborations with other Youth Choirs
    Throughout the year the Scholas will be invited to participate in various outreach singing opportunities as well as join forces with local church and community children's choirs.  In May/June (exact date TBD) we hope to present an evening of our finest work with all the POTHE choirs as part of our new Parish of the Holy Eucharist Concert Series.

    HOW TO JOIN:    Parish Youth Choirs  to young men and women with treble voices, grades 1  through high school. The Choristers rehearse on Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday afternoons and sing monthly at the 11:00 Mass on Sunday morning at Sacred Heart.   Choristers will learn vocal technique appropriate to their age and development, along with music literacy, theory, parts of the Mass and chant.  Sessions according to age meet weekly and opportunity for all ages to sing together occur regularly.
