Monastic Choirs

Monastic choirs are groups of monks or nuns within a monastery dedicated to singing, chanting, and musical prayer as part of their spiritual practice. Their music, often Gregorian chant or other sacred music, follows strict liturgical structures and is performed collectively during religious services. These choirs serve to enhance worship, foster spiritual focus, and preserve musical traditions. The choir's physical setting typically includes a designated choir stall or area within the church or monastery, where members maintain a disciplined schedule of daily and special prayers expressed through their coordinated singing.
