This course examines the function of music as a symbol used by the
church to celebrate its faith, including the role of the church musician in the
parish, the study of the liturgical music documents, an overview of the history
of church music, planning of liturgical celebrations throughout the church
year, music repertoire, and the participants in the liturgy. Guest presenters may
be called upon to assist in illuminating key topics, while students experience
the planning and leading of a sacred event open to the community.
