INTRODUCTORY
NOTESThe following list contains the names of vocal ensembles who specialize in early music spanning the Gregorian chant to the baroque period. Directors/chorus masters are identified in parentheses. The ensembles identified in this list either sing a cappella or as choruses accompanying instrumental ensembles.
If you're particularly
interested in Gregorian chant, Peter Jeffrey maintains the Gregorian Chant Home Page. In
addition, you might like to enroll in the Gregorian chant
tutorial! Or you may wish to visit The
Gregorian Association (UK) as well as the Internationale
Gesellschaft für Studien des Gregorianischen Chorals (AISCGre)
Raphael Biran maintains "Raphi's Serious Singers List" which is an
evolving list of vocal soloists and their respective discographies.

Velde has some instructive words to say about them.
