Gen Ed Requirements
This course
fulfills the requirements for humanities and international requirements
for general education.
Humanities (H)
The
principle text for the course is a study of six points in time in which
the Catholic church was particularly focused on musical matters.
It examines for each of these periods the music of the time, the
Church’s concerns, the attempted reforms and the results.
The text then looks at all of these periods for common themes.
The course
will use this study as a means of offering instruction in “key
themes, principles and terminology of” the music of Catholic church in
such as way as to enable students “to identify and to analyze the key
elements, biases and influences” that have shaped the church’s music.
