MUSI 180 - The Sound of Faith: Music and Spiritual Practice

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)

In nearly every era and culture music has been an essential element in spiritual practice, offering a mode of expression that is deeply human, yet transcends words; a special voice with which mortals may explore, worship, entreat, and, perhaps, touch the divine. This course will engage participants in close listening, discussion, and written response to musical works from various periods and cultures that we will examine both as works of art, and as artifacts or vehicles of spiritual and religious practice. Ms. Libin.
