Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

On the one hand, SC 116 states that "[t]he Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy", while, on the other hand, church music has yielded a great treasure of liturgical compositions. In addition, "the Church" has an independent, diverse, and rich musical heritage in its Eastern traditions.
The seminar sets out to make students aware of the history of church music in an ecumenical perspective, from its beginnings in the age of the New Testament up to the present day in order to develop practical criteria for reflection on current developments in church music in diverse liturgical traditions.
Two focal points serve as central themes for the seminar: to become acquainted with the history of church music and to answer the question of what are today "the qualities proper to genuine sacred music" (SC 121).
