Colloquium is central to the purpose of the Institute and
to the faculty’s involvement in, and personal attention
to, how ISM students are trained. Colloquium is the meeting
ground for all Institute students and faculty, the place where
we study together, grapple with major issues, and share our
work as students of worship, music and the arts.
The Institute of Sacred Music Colloquium is a course, taken
for credit, that meets every Wednesday from 3.30 until 5 p.m.,
with informal discussion from 5 to 5.30 p.m. It is divided
into two term-long parts, with responsibility for the fall
term resting primarily with the faculty and outside presenters,
and for the spring term primarily with the students.
Particular attention will be given throughout the year to preparing students and faculty for the upcoming 2008 study trip to the Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia. This year's scholars in the architecture, liturgy, and music of the region will make presentations in Colloquium.
One of the primary tenets of the Institute’s mission
is to bring together into conversation the broad fields of
arts and religion. To this end, ISM students from the two
partner schools of Music and Divinity collaborate on a final
presentation to be given in their final year. In their penultimate
year, student pairings are made and as a team they develop
a topic and thesis to which they both can contribute significantly
and collaborate equally. This process is advised and monitored
by ISM faculty. As the end of the year, they award the Faculty
Prize to the best student presentation.
We videotape all presentations for our archives. Selections
appear on the DVD that accompanies the journal Colloquium,
published annually.
