The University of Notre Dame Folk Choir is a unique ensemble of 60 singers and instrumentalists. Their arrangements of sacred music include four-part choral harmony, flute and strings, ethnic percussion instruments, guitar and organ. The music ministry of the Folk Choir has led them to sing in both prestigious and disadvantaged places throughout the world. They have toured extensively throughout North America, Ireland and England. They have sung before prelates and popes: for His Holiness John Paul II at the '93 World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado, and for the Archbishop of Canterbury in their 2000 tour to the British Isles. Recordings include Of Holy Women, Candled Seasons (with the monks of Gethsemani Abbey), Prophets of Joy, The Seven Signs, Crossroads of Praise, Witness of the Saints, and Psalms of the Notre Dame Folk Choir. This St. Patrick's Day, the Folk Choir will celebrate the release of their newest recording, a collection of Irish sacred music entitled Songs of Saints and Scholars. The music and recordings of the Notre Dame Folk Choir are available through World Library Publications, Chicago, Illinois.
