MUS 292 - Liturgical Chamber Singers 3 hours
This course meets in conjunction with and supports the Liturgical Choir, but has an additional 2 hours per week to prepare advanced choral repertoire. It serves to strengthen music literacy and vocal performance skills by providing opportunities to sing a balance of historical styles, sacred and secular, harmonize in varied voicings, explore music of non-western culture, and perform works for the public, which are of exemplary quality. Students will develop sight-reading proficiency, singing technique, and harmonization abilities through a variety of musical styles, including polyphony, chant, classical, hymnody, oratorio, contemporary, praise, gospel, and folk. This course also provides an overview of the liturgical year as well as the history and evolution of sacred music. Chamber Singers will provide music for six liturgical events throughout the semester. Permission to register from the instructor is required.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in fine arts.
