Fr. Gregory Pearson OP

Fr. Gregory  Pearson works as an assistant priest at St Dominic’s, London.  For examples of his teaching go to http://english.op.org/profiles/gregory-pearson.htm.

The Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge

As in previous years, the Schola will provide a programme of talks and tuition to enable participants to sing at the solemn Masses.

The Schola was founded in 1975 by Dr Mary Berry, a Cambridge musician and musicologist, in order to ensure that the chant should continue to be taught, and that all those who wished to sing and study this profoundly spiritual and ancient music should be able to do so. It became a registered charity in 1984. The Schola aims to promote the teaching and singing of Gregorian chant and, whenever possible, to foster its study and research. 

Since the Schola's foundation, hundreds of people from all over the world and from all backgrounds have come to the Schola's singing days, workshops and seminars, to sing and study the chant.

Children's Choir from Versailles, France, led by FSSP Clerics to perform in 8 Major Cathedrals and Churches across England: 19th-27th August 2015

"Tomorrow all the children of the world will sing God’s peace"

August 2015 - England Concert Tour

The Little Singers of Saint-Charles

Versailles, France

will sing sacred music including works by

Palestrina, Victoria, Bach, Handel and Rossini.

Who they are

The children’s choir Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Charles was founded in 1983 by Father Roger Morandi. Their mission is to sing the Lord and his wonders and to radiate faith and Christian joy. Our young singers receive both a musical and a spiritual education for without a living faith, sacred music is reduced to a purely artistic gesture and loses its meaning.

This choir is part of the International Pueri Cantores Federation, a grouping of children’s choirs whose purpose is to praise the Lord through sacred music. Together with other young singers of the world, Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Charles sing the peace of God so that, on Earth, all men of good will live in peace.

What they sing

Les petits chanteurs de Saint-Charles perform Renaissance motets (Palestrina, Viadana) and Sacred Masterpieces from the world's great composers such as Vivaldi (Gloria),  Bach (Magnificat, St. John Passion, Cantatas), Handel (Messiah), F.J.Haydn (St. Nicolas Mass, Missa in tempore belli), Mozart (Requiem, Kronungsmesse,Vesperae solennes de confessore) and Rossini (Solemn Little Mass). They also sing French repertoire from Charpentier (Midnight Mass For Christmas), Gounod (St. Cecilia Mass), Fauré (Requiem) or Duruflé (Requiem).

Les petits chanteurs de Saint-Charles have recorded a dozen music CDs.  You can listen to audios extracts on this page : https://soundcloud.com/petitschanteurs-stcharles.

The choir is conducted by Hélène Nougayrède. She graduated in Harmony and Theory at the National Conservatory (CNSM) of Paris and received both piano and flute diplomas at the National Conservatory for the Versailles Region.

What they do

These singers have rehearsals every week. Once a month they sing Sunday service in Versailles. They give several concerts a year, mostly in December with traditional a capella Christmas songs and in June at the end of the school year. Late August during summer vacation about 50 young singers spend a fortnight together in France or abroad for a concert tour. This gives the children an opportunity to learn community life and to discover many foreign countries : Italy, Austria, Germany or Poland in the past years, and England in 2015!

Prinknash Sunday Latin Mass Cancelled - Indefinitely

Some very sad news from Gloucestershire, the longest running Sunday EF Mass in Gloucestershire has been stopped, an announcement was made, after the Saturday Low Mass on 18th April.

No official reason has been given.The weekly Saturday Low Mass continues, for the moment; however, it should be noted that it no longer appears on the offical weekly notices (although it remains on the main Prinknash website).
