•The audibility and intelligibility of the boys' choir of Notre-Dame is investigated.•The enclosed medieval choir in Notre-Dame created a subspace with suitable acoustics for the clergy within the ...choir.•The voices of the choirboys would likely be less intelligible in the nave than the position of the clergy in the chancel.•Singers on the jubé may have had visual appeal, but at the expensive of level and clarity of sound heard in the chancel.
This article presents aspects of the lives of the choirboys at Notre-Dame de Paris between the 14th and the 18th centuries. We evaluate the sound produced by children’s voices during liturgical celebrations based on their location inside the choir using acoustic simulations. The enclosed liturgical choir of Notre-Dame created an acoustical subspace in the cathedral with suitable acoustics for the clergy within the choir, but not for the laypeople in the nave. These simulations demonstrate that this liturgy of the Hours was meant mostly for God and the canons who sang it. In addition to testing conditions where the children sang from within the chancel with and without the jubé, we also investigate the situation where the children sang from on top of the jubé as they did for certain special occasions. While placing singers on the jubé may have had visual appeal or ceremonial importance, simulations reveal that moving the singers from the ground floor of the choir to the jubé would have actually had a negative effect on the loudness and clarity of the sound heard by the canons in the choir.

The Tygerberg Children’s Choir (TCC) is rooted in South Africa’s Afrikaner culture. Its transition to a multicultural children’s choir, within a drastically changed political dispensation, furnished ...a rich subject for a historiographic choir identity investigation. From its establishment in 1972 until 2019, Hendrik D. Loock was the conductor. Since then the choir has continued under Karina Erasmus. The TCC is one of the oldest existing mixed-gender regional children’s choirs in the country, directed by the longest serving conductor of such a choir. The choir’s identity and Loock’s forty-seven-year directorship are interwoven, his work perceived as a significant cultural contribution. With his late wife Theresa (TCC accompanist, choral trainer, and arranger of choir music for thirty-two years), Loock confirmed a uniquely familial leadership profile amongst children’s choirs. This qualitative biographic report about the life and contribution of Loock and the TCC merges thematically analysed data from the TCC’s archival collection, non-participant observations, face-to-face interviews, and contextual information.

The article deals with the study of historical aspects of children's choir singing in church tradition. The author considers characteristic features and origins of children's church choir singing. ...The reasons for using children's choir singing in Christian churches are investigated. The author characterizes the features of the conditions for utilization of children's choir singing in Christian churches. The distinction between children's church choir singing in the Orthodox East and Catholic West is shown. Children's choirs in Catholic churches were formed mainly from among orphan boys from orphanages at temples or monasteries. In the Catholic society of that time, childhood was not yet considered as a special status. Social assistance to children was included in the general program of care for unprotected segments of the population. However, they were destined for a compulsory religious education. In Orthodoxy, choir singing, along with the ability to read and write, was considered a necessary factor in the education of the ruling class and literate clergy. Thus, a more meaningful and profound educational program for future adults was introduced. In conclusion, the author states that children's choir singing, while being closely associated with church traditions and practice, introduces children to anagogic, educational and spiritual processes of the church ceremony.
El artículo trata del estudio de los aspectos históricos del canto de coros de niños en la tradición
de la iglesia. El autor considera los rasgos característicos y los orígenes del canto del coro de la
iglesia infantil. Se investigan las razones para utilizar el canto de coros de niños en las iglesias
cristianas. El autor caracteriza las características de las condiciones para la utilización del canto
coral de niños en las iglesias cristianas. Se muestra la distinción entre el canto del coro de la
iglesia de niños en el Oriente ortodoxo y el Occidente católico. Los coros de niños en las
iglesias católicas se formaron principalmente entre niños huérfanos de orfanatos en templos o
monasterios. En la sociedad católica de esa época, la infancia aún no se consideraba un estatus
especial. La asistencia social a la infancia se incluyó en el programa general de atención a los
segmentos desprotegidos de la población. Sin embargo, estaban destinados a una educación
religiosa obligatoria. En la ortodoxia, el canto coral, junto con la capacidad de leer y escribir, se
consideraba un factor necesario en la educación de la clase dominante y el clero alfabetizado.
Por lo tanto, se introdujo un programa educativo más significativo y profundo para los futuros
adultos. En conclusión, el autor afirma que el canto del coro de niños, aunque está
estrechamente asociado con las tradiciones y la práctica de la iglesia, introduce a los niños en
los procesos anagógicos, educativos y espirituales de la ceremonia de la iglesia

Korean women and children have become the forgotten population of a forgotten war. Framed by War traces how the Korean orphan, GI baby, adoptee, birth mother, prostitute, and bride-figures produced ...by the US military-were made to disappear. Strained embodiments of war, they brought Americans into Korea and Koreans into America, intimate crossings that defined, and at times defied, US empire in the Pacific. The book looks to US and South Korean government documents and military correspondence; US aid organization records; Korean orphanage registers; US and South Korean newspapers and magazines; as well as photographs, interviews, films, and performances to suture a fragmented past.
