MUSI 233 - Sounds of Faith: Sacred Choral Music

Semester Offered: Spring
0.5 unit(s)

The sound of massed voices creates a sense of community and a spiritual reverberation that composers have explored for worship, for celebration, and to reveal or touch the divine. In this six-week course, in coordination with performances by Vassar College choral ensembles, we examine sacred works by composers from varying historical and spiritual contexts, and how they have used music to express faith.
