Peregrine

Established in 1993, Peregrine Medieval Vocal Ensemble is dedicated to offering vocal sound, often accompanied by harp, as a way to open up a space for prayer and meditation. Peregrine is a resident ensemble at St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle. In addition to providing music for liturgies and contemplative events at St. Mark's (including the New Year's Eve labyrinth walks), Peregrine's sings liturgical music at Seattle's St. James Cathedral as well as participating in interfaith events and contemplative concerts in a variety of venues.


Peregrine CDs

Both CDs,  Night Chants and Gregorian Chant, are now available at CDBaby, where you can listen to numerous tracks of each CD.  The two CDs are also available from the Center for Sacred Art, which produced both of them.

Peregrine latest CD, Night Chants, was recorded in the beautiful acoustic space oft Bastyr University Chapel in Kirkland.  The CD features harpist Cheryl Ann Fulton and music from the Matins service for All Saints. Translations of all the texts on the Night Chants CD are available here.

Peregrine's first CD, titled Gregorian Chant, was recorded in the sonorous acoustics of St. Mark's Cathedral. The chants in Latin and English focus on wisdom, compassion, love, and the hope for peace. Listen to samples from the first CD: Jerusalem cito veniet and O Sapientia.


Selected Past Events

St. Francis of Assisi in Song
A contemplative evening of medieval music for voices and harps based on the life and work of St. Francis. The program includes Gregorian chant, devotional music, and popular song, all from the 1200s and 1300s, inspired by St. Francis' remarkable example of continual praise for God and a deep love of all His creatures.
