As part of the year-long 350th-anniversary celebrations of the Archdiocese of Quebec, the first Catholic diocese in Canada, the vocal ensemble Voces Domini launched their album Musica sacra in ecclesia during the Nov. 17 mass at the Basilica-Cathedral Notre-Dame de Québec, presided over by Cardinal Gérald Cyprien Lacroix, the bishop of Quebec. Directed by Jean-Claude Picard, who also directed the male choir of the Basilica for many years, the vocal ensemble of eight local professional singers – Richard Duguay, Frédéric Corneau, Dominique Gagné, Gabriel Provencher, Robert Huard, Michel Légaré, Manuel Provençal and Michel Cervant – was formed to make this original recording, to perpetuate the beauty and promote the sacred art of Gregorian chant and the great polyphonies inspired by faith. Marc D’Anjou, organist at the Basilica since 1993, accompanied the singers. (SN) (Photo by Shirley Nadeau)
