The Church and Music

Description from DukeHub

This course is both a historical study of music in Christian liturgy and a contemporary exploration of theological, communal, and pastoral issues pertaining to music in worship and congregational life. Topics for discussion will include genres of church music; the confluence of liturgy, music, and culture; clergy-musician relationships; and the role of choirs, cantors, and instruments.
