The Lady Chapel Singers, founded in 1993, was a professional vocal ensemble dedicated to historic and contemporary sacred music by, for, and about women. The Lady Chapel Singers’ repertoire was deliberately diverse, including medieval works by Kassia, the Nun, Hildegard of Bingen, and selections from the Codex Las Heulgas along with African-American spirituals, Native American chant, an African praise song, and much contemporary American and English music. More about The Lady Chapel Singers.
Two recordings are available:
Magdalene and the Other Mary, released in 2005, emphasizes songs and stories of holy women. It includes the only recording of the choral arrangement of an aria from the oratorio Women of Valor by Andrea Clearfield, as well as selections by Kassia, the Nun, Sulpitia Cesis, Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, and Clara Schumann, along with African American Spirituals and other contemporary music, much published in Voices Found, the hymnal supplement.
The first recording by The Lady Chapel Singers, Echoes of St. Hildegard, features two songs of Hildegard of Bingen, selections from Codex Las Huelgas, African American Spirituals, as well as songs of praise from Ghana, and music by contemporary American women. It concludes with the full solo cantata, Esther, by Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.
