THE SAINT ALBANS SCHOOL CHORALE

At its founding in 1909, on the grounds ofthe newly founded Washington 

National Cathedral, Saint Albans was conceived as a school to educate the 

choristers ofthe cathedral, and younger Saint Albans boys still fulfill that

function. Many ofthese boys, at voice change, continue singing in the

chorale, as do other boys in the school. In addition to singing for school

concerts, services, and occasions in Washington National Cathedral, the 

chorale and its smaller, auditioned groups—the Madrigal Singers and

“Jackets Off’—have sung at the Kennedy Center and the White House, on

National Public Radio, and in recordings. Annual tours have taken them

to many parts ofthe United States and on international trips to Argentina, 

Australia, Chile, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

Spaseniye, sodelal

Salvation is created in the midst ofthe earth, O God. Alleluia.

Psalm 23 (Sung in German)

The Lord is my shepherd: therefore I lack nothing.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths ofrighteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley ofthe shadow of death,

1 will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staffthey comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days ofmy life:

And I will dwell in the house ofthe Lord forever.

Gaudeamus Igitur

Gaudeamus igitur

Juvenes dum sumus.

Post iucundam iuventutem

Post molestam senectutem

Nos habebit humus.

Vivat academia!

Vivant professores!

Vivat membrum quodlibet;

Vivant membra quaelibet;

Semper sint in/lore.

While we are young, let us rejoice, 

Singing out in gleeful tones;

After youth’s delightful frolic,

And old age (so melancholic!),

Earth will cover our bones.

Long live our academy,

Teachers whom we cherish;

Long live all the graduates,

And the undergraduates;

Ever may they flourish.

Alma Materjloreat,

Quae nos educavit;

Caros et commilitones,

Dissitas in regiones

Sparsos, congregavit.

May our Alma Mater thrive,

A font of education;

Friends and colleagues, everywhere,

Whether near or from afar,

Heed her invitation.

Bead Mortui

Revelation 14:13

Beati mortui in Domino morientes; dicit enim spiritus, ut requiescant a laboribus

suis et opera illorum sequuntur ipsos.

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. “Yes,” says the Spirit, 

“they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
