CM 4332 - Music Genres of Western Christianity


Credits: 3

Surveys the major genres of Western sacred music in historical context. The objectives are (1) to explore the narrative from the early Church through the present as it relates to the foundations of Christian music-making, and to the several genres that developed from that foundation; (2) to foreground the musical/technical, theological, liturgical, and broader cultural motivations of music through the periods; (3) to initiate an acquaintance with the iconic sacred repertory of all periods, and to become conversant in questions of style and performance practice; (4) to exercise critical research and writing skills in a contextual approach that integrates musical, cultural, and theological analysis to a high degree; and (5) to provide opportunities for effective classroom discussion.
