MUS 4250 - Practice and Aesthetics of Church Music

Institution:

North Park University

Subject:

Description:

This course will survey the philosophy, practice and representational repertoire of major worship traditions being used today in the United States including liturgical, traditional mainline, charismatic, contemporary, Taize, and multicultural expressions. A major discussion will be 1) the church musician's use of aesthetic judgment in evaluating and bringing music and other art into the congregation, 2) the church musician's role as educator and change agent in the context of a servant leadership model which maintains a sensitivity to the cultural and spiritual climate of the congregation. Students will develop evaluative tools to facilitate these goals, and they will develop and articulate a personal philosophy of church music ministry.
