His Majestie's Clerkes
*1982 US
Classical
Majestie's Clerkes is a Chicago-based chamber chorus specializing in classical a cappella music. It has been called "Chicago's premier professional chamber choir." The group was founded in 1982 by countertenor Richard Childress as His Majestie's Clerkes. In 1990, His Majestie's Clerkes was awarded National Public Radio's Lucien Wulsin Award for best small ensemble. The group was renamed to Bella Voce in 2001. The group's performances are usually of early and contemporary European music. Originally performing music of the English Tudor period, the name Bella Voce was chosen as the performances of His Majestie's Clerkes took on broader interests.
