Clough School of Theology and Ministry
This course explores the vast treasury of Christian sacred music.While the development of music in (Roman-Rite) liturgy anchors the historical survey, the course engages other sacred repertoire allied (and at times, overlapping) with liturgy.These include operas, symphonies, folk songs, soundtracks, and soundscapes.Moreover, through theological aesthetics and some performance practice, this course addresses issues relating to musics pastoral application: Is there a way out of bad church music? What repertoire can educators or preachers draw upon to inspire curriculum or animate homilies?How can music help people pray?To what extent might secular music be sacred?
