The Lyceum Chorale

The Lyceum is especially proud of our Schola Cantorum, or "singing school", which serves not only our own students, but also attracts home-schooled children and students from all around Cleveland. Every Wednesday, these students descend upon The Lyceum for their weekly practice. The Schola Cantorum now boasts a membership of almost 30, and they are a source of inspiration for those of us who are fortunate to hear them singing.

Every member of the school, both students and faculty, sings. The purpose of the Schola Cantorum is to foster a love for the treasury of sacred liturgical music and Gregorian chant. Giving children an acquaintance with beautiful liturgical music is a reward in itself and certainly in keeping with the wishes of our Holy Father.

Classical Catholic education seeks to dispose each person to be a fitting vessel for Divine Grace. Following the maxim that “grace builds on nature,” The Lyceum mission assumes that by acquiring the virtues that allow us to see and respond to beauty, students are disposed to the appreciation of Him who is Beauty itself.

Laetare: The Lyceum Schola Cantorum's First CD

The Lyceum Choir released its first CD of sacred music in June 2006. Laetarepresents a varied selection of music appropriate for every liturgical season from Advent to Easter, from the angelic "Ave Maria" to the Resurrection acclamation "Alleluia". Inspired by the popular Marian Easter Hymn "Regina Caeli, Laetare!", this brief album also represents a response to the psalmist when he pleads:

"Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright. Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise."   --Psalm 32

It is our hope that this selection of sacred chant and polyphony will help foster a great familiarity and a genuine love for the treasury of music that belongs to the Church.
