New page

The term [[glee club]] derives from the word [[glee]], which originated in Great Britain (approximately 1603). The word [[glee]] does not refer to the mood of the music or the singers, but to '''the glee''', a specific form of English part song.

The first specifically named [[Glee Club]] appeared in the Newcastle Coffee House in London in 1787, after which glee clubs became very popular in Britain until the mid-1850s, after which they were gradually replaced by more encompassing [[choral societies]].

In a later development, [[glee club]]s would become popular in most American schools in the late 19th century, and become established as a vested tradition in American high schools till this day. However, the USA understanding of the word is a musical group or choir group, which specializes in the singing of short songs — i.e. [[glee]]s — as trios or quartets.

The British term occurs in South Africa in the [[Garrision theatre]] tradition, e.g. with the [[Lanarkshire Glee Club]] (1869).
