First full-length consideration of the role played by young
singers, bringing out its full significance and its development
over time. Young singers played a central role in a variety of
religious institutional settings: urban cathedrals, collegiate
churches, monasteries, guilds, and confraternities. The training of
singers for performance in religious services was so crucial as to
shape the very structures of ecclesiastical institutions, which
developed to meet the need for educating their youngest members;
while the development of musical repertories and styles directly
reflected the ubiquitous participation of children's voices in both
chant and polyphony. Once choristers' voices had broken, they often
pursued more advanced studies either through an apprenticeship
system or at university, frequently with the help of the
institutions to which they belonged. This volume provides the first
wide-ranging book-length treatment of the subject, and will be of
interest to music historians - indeed, all historians - who wish to
understand the role of the young in sacred musical culture before
1700. SUSAN BOYNTON is Associate Professor of Historical Musicology
at Columbia University; ERIC RICE is Assistant Professor of Music
at the University of Connecticut at Storrs. CONTRIBUTORS: SUSAN
