IN 16. Now We Are One Body: Global Song

Patrick Evans, Yale Institute of Sacred Music/Yale Divinity School
1:30 – 4:00 PM, June 8-12
$325

North American Christians are but a small part of the body of Christ in the twenty-first century.  This course is concerned with hymnody and liturgical music from many parts of that body.  We will examine the reasons for singing global song in local worship, the musical/theological questions regarding what happens when we do, and offer practical ways to teach and learn music from non-western traditions in ways that are respectful of the sending culture and that also engage the receiving culture in deeper musical and faith-building experiences.  We will learn together ways to help our congregations truly “join our voices with the saints of every time and place.”t
