The choir school and choir of men and boys are well known as institutions that have been developed and fostered within the Anglican tradition. The strength of this particular church tradition that makes it well-suited as a home for the choir of men and boys stems from its hierarchical structure, its liturgical heritage, and the strength and generosity of its institutions: the monarchy, the cathedrals and the universities with their collegiate chapels. Although the Anglican Church is now well-established throughout the world, the potential of the choir of men and boys and choir school have yet to be fully developed outside of England.

520 $a The choir school and choir of men and boys are well known as institutions that have been developed and fostered within the Anglican tradition. The strength of this particular church tradition that makes it well-suited as a home for the choir of men and boys stems from its hierarchical structure, its liturgical heritage, and the strength and generosity of its institutions: the monarchy, the cathedrals and the universities with their collegiate chapels. Although the Anglican Church is now well-established throughout the world, the potential of the choir of men and boys and choir school have yet to be fully developed outside of England.
520 $a In this document, the author investigates the history and current state of this tradition in America, while examining the possibilities for its renewal and further development. Part I of the document explores the nature of the church, the liturgy and the choir from a historical perspective. Part II focuses on existing models of boy chorister training in the American Church, including the after-school program, the parochial school and the choir school. Part III explores some topics related to the possibility of renewal and contains some suggestions for assembling a new choir.
520 $a The traditional model of the choir school is a residential school for boys situated at a cathedral or collegiate chapel, providing room, board and a liberal arts education for the choristers. These choristers, along with adult male singers, are engaged to sing the regular choral worship services of the church. Previous research into American men and boy choirs has centered upon those programs which most closely follow the traditional model. However, serious chorister training has long been a part of regular parish life where there is no formal choir school, and research into this field until the present has been neglected.
520 $a In this document, two current models of chorister training (the after-school chorister program and the parish day school) are investigated alongside the only remaining Anglican choir school in America. The purpose is to explore the various methods used in recruitment, training, staffing and funding of the choirs. Chorister programs included in the study have maintained a traditional choir of men & boys, and in some cases have also developed parallel girl &/or adult choirs.
520 $a The purpose of this study is to report to the academic community on current trends within Anglican choir training programs in America and to assemble information that may be used in the planning and formation of a new choir. The information in the document was gathered through visits to several programs of the after-school, day school and choir school variety. The supporting data includes personal interviews of leading staff members as well as on-site observation of course work, rehearsals and performances. Also examined in the research are such written materials about the choirs as could be obtained: histories, journal articles, brochures, charters, bylaws and syllabi.
