SCHOLA Cantorum of Santa Fe

For 30 years the Schola Cantorum of Santa Fe has shared the sounds of sacred music masterpieces in the chapels, missions, cathedrals and basilicas New Mexico and Colorado locally, and Italy and Ireland internationally. Schola is known locally as "Santa Fe's Sacred Music Ensemble" and "Santa Fe's favorite ensemble."

Dr. Billy Turney founded Schola in 1990 during his 25-year tenure as principal organist and Director of Music of the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis in Santa Fe. With 37 continual years of active sacred music duties at the Cathedral, he knows nearly every acoustical nuance of that sacred space.

Turney is a Santa Fe native and began his music studies with the Sisters of the Loretto Academy at a young age. He experienced the Sisters singing the chants of Vespers in the Loretto Chapel, an experience that shaped his sacred music career.

Turney studied Gregorian chant and polyphonic music of the Renaissance at the Vatican at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music, and has the unique perspective of presenting this special sacred music in its' intended context and environment.

Seattle Bach Choir

In 1984, Dr. Wallace Golecke founded the Seattle Bach Choir with the idea that performances by the group would highlight the works of composers of the Baroque period, and Johann Sebastian Bach in particular. Under the direction of Louis Magor, Dr. Gregory Kent Vancil, Dr. Anne Lyman, and our newest director Daniel A Mahraun, the repertoire of this chamber choir has expanded to include music from the Medieval period through very recent years, including some premiere performances of works by current composers. It continues to be our goal to present high quality performances of music that is not often performed, but that is significant within the canon of choral literature. While many of our performances are primarily of music performed either by a cappella choir or with piano, we also perform pieces with orchestra, such as Haydn's Mass in Time of War, Handel's Dixit Dominus, and the St. John Passion and Mass in B Minor of our namesake, J. S. Bach. Our programming is accessible for audiences who are hearing their first choral music program, or those who are seasoned choral music aficionados.

The Seattle Bach Choir programs music that is especially interesting and beautiful, but not always frequently performed. This includes music from well known composers in addition to music from those composers who are not yet well known, but who should be. It is our interest to perform a balance of music from the Renaissance to music of today, and that has been our consistent offering in our programs for the past several years.

Among the many offerings of the past several years are compositions by Dufay, Josquin, de la Rue, Victoria, Palestrina, Schein, Schutz, Byrd, Gibbons, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Strauss, Verdi, Poulenc, Pizzetti, Harris, Eben, Musgrave, Ives, Hawley, Stanford, Kechley, Lauridsen, Youtz, and many, many others. We have uncovered works long-buried and hosted some northwest premieres and world premieres.

The founding of the Chorus was inspired by Target Seattle, a region-wide activity formed to raise awareness about the growing threat of nuclear war in that era.

By reaching out through music and making personal connections, the chorus hoped and continues to hope now to make a difference.

Seneca Soundwaves Chorus

Sensational Nightingales

The Sensational Nightingales were assembled in the '40s. In 1957 they appeared on the Gospel Train tour with The Clara Ward Singers and five other big-name gospel acts. Members included Julius Cheeks (lead), Carl Coates (bass), JoJo Wallace (tenor), Howard Carroll (baritone), and Paul Gwens (tenor). Their noted hit was "See How They Done My Lord." One of the earliest gospel quintets, they recorded and toured throughout the 1990s. Many of their '50s and '60s sides (found on MCA reissues) feature the stunning vocals of Rev. Julius Cheeks. As with Archie Brownlee, Cheeks reaches an intensity that distorts the actual recordings, and his style has been heavily "borrowed" by Bobby Bland, Wilson Pickett, and others. The later recordings by Charles Johnson are smoother and slicker, but still top-notch. ~ Bil Carpenter & Billy C. Wirtz, All Music Guide

Sheps

The Sheps are without a doubt one of the most popular acappella groups in the N.Y.- N.J. circuit today. We have the credentials to prove it! The five part vocal group consists of original members, Tommie Shider and Richie Camacho, along with Charles Coleman and Johnnie Barlow. All residing in New Jersey. Tommy Lockhart, the fifth member lives in New York. All five members have "paid their dues" so to speak, as in gaining experience to form one of the most unique blends of harmony today! They are all committed to singing many songs that other groups won't even touch. It is for the fact that they do these obscure songs so well, that it is no wonder that a fan club was formed immediately after their very first performance! Upon receiving awards and plaques over the years, this has not changed the way the guys feel about 'really keeping the music alive!" Also these fellows have one of the highest reputations for being back-up forces for such greats as Pirkle Lee Moses, leader of the Eldorados, Otis Williams leader of the legendary Charms, Ray Wooten, leader of the Mellow Moods, Johnny Bragg, leader of the Prisonaires, Ray Pollard, leader of the Wanderers, the incredible Ruth McFadden, Bobby Mansfield, leader of the Wrens, Harvey Fuqua of the Moonglows, along with an impressive list of many more.
