has glosseng: A lay clerk, also known as a lay vicar, song man or a vicar choral, is a professional adult singer (or an accomplished amateur) in a Cathedral or (occasionally) collegiate choir in the United Kingdom. The Vicars Choral were substitutes for the Canons. They are not in holy orders; the term "vicar" in this context comes from Latin word "vice" ("in place of") and simply means a deputy (as in vice-president). The majority of lay clerks are male, however there are female lay clerks in Dublin.
