History - Today
The Scola has 4 CDs: 'Laudes Mariae', 'Puer natus est', 'Requiem' and 'Resurrexi'.
The pioneering and the performing practice of the monks of Solesmes inspired the style of the Scola. Besides that the choir is open for new discoveries and a justified approach of the Gregorian seminology.
The Scola intends to contribute to the reincarnation and a renewed appreciation of the Gregorian music as one of the great masterpieces of the Church and the basis of West European musical culture. The Scola doesn't consider the Gregorian music as an in the course of time dead form of music. On the contrary it approaches every medieval singing as a living prayer, a to music matured reflection for every day and for the mood of the ecclesiastical year. The Scola engages itself with the utmost exertion to keep these great cultural assets in its original environment: the liturgical and Eucharistic form.
After a service of 25 years in the Saint Salvator Cathedral the Scola nowadays sings during the weekly High Mass in the serene monastic Church of the fathers Carmelites in Bruges, with Chris Dubois at the organ.
