CHAPEL CHOIR

Solemn Vespers

L

 

CAPPELLA is pleased to sing for daily Solemn Vespers, hosted by the Benedictine Oblates of Mary.  Vespers are prayed each day, Monday — Thursday at 4:30pm in our beautiful Our Lady of the Annunciation Chapel at the University of Mary.  All are invited to pray with us.  Mass follows Vespers each day, except on Wednesdays (adoration of the Blessed Sacrament).

 

We chant from the Mundelein Psalter and include other pieces of sacred music as well.  In order to assist any that choose to pray with us through song, we have posted some simple rehearsal tracks below.  If you feel you need a  short coaching session or aren't sure of the part most appropriate for your voice, you can email Dr. Rebecca Raber for assistance.
