cathedral choirs
Church singing groups
Cathedral choirs are vocal ensembles that perform liturgical music in cathedral settings, typically comprising boys or mixed voices singing the daily offices and services of Anglican or Catholic worship.
The term also refers to the tradition itself—a centuries-old practice of choral excellence associated with major churches: He trained in cathedral choirs before joining the opera.
These groups are known for their distinctive sound, blending treble voices with adult singers in repertoire ranging from Renaissance polyphony to contemporary sacred music.
