Charioteers

The origins of this long running team of harmonizers go right to 1930. Then universities both black and white found there was a mass audience for close harmony renditions of slavery-era spirituals. So university-linked choirs and small groups followed in the footsteps of the pioneering Fisk Jubilee Singers, to promote their places of education. Some black universities rebelled against what they saw as the racist undertones of the "old plantation songs" and students at Howard University went on strike in 1909 and again in 1919, refusing to sing the songs while Wilberforce University in Ohio, the oldest college for blacks in the USA, banned the "negro folk songs" outright. But by the late '20s all that was changing.

Quartet singing in colleges had become a coast-to-coast craze. Every black college boasted a dozen or more amateur singing groups and local and regional contests between what had become known as 'jubilee' groups. And so it came to pass that a professor of music at Wilberforce University, Howard Daniel, organised the Harmony Four.

Chattanooga Girls Choir

The Chattanooga Girls Choir was founded by Mr. John Dyer under the moniker of "The Cantilena Singers." At the time, Mr. Dyer was faculty associate at Cadek Conservatory ("Cadek") in the Music Department of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga ("UTC"). Dr. Peter Gerschefski, head of the Music Department and Cadek wanted to start a children's choir at Cadek. Dr. Gerschefski knew about Mr. Dyer's background in choral music education so he asked him to form such a choir. However, Mr. Dyer believed that Chattanooga needed a choir especially for girls more than a co-educational children's choir because our city already had the long-standing Chattanooga Boys Choir but there was no similar opportunity for area girls. Mr. Dyer thereafter contacted local music teachers in area schools and asked them to identify and send any interested and talented girls to Cadek to audition for the new choir. Fifty girls auditioned and were all invited to become founding members of the ensemble. Within its first couple of years, the Cantilena Singers were renamed The Chattanooga Girls Choir (the "CGC").
