MUS 1353 - Schola Choir and Liturgical Ensemble

Credits: 1
In this ensemble course, singers and instrumentalists have the opportunity to learn and perform music in a liturgical context. The Schola Choir and Liturgical Ensemble leads music at the weekly student Sunday Masses on campus, as well as music for special liturgical days, such as Ash Wednesday. The Schola also performs at an annual Lessons and Carols concert and a spring performance. All singers who wish to sing and grow in musical understanding are welcome to take part. The ability to read music is not required, but basic pitch-matching is expected. Singers will develop vocal techniques, ensemble techniques, and contextual understanding in this course. Instrumentalists who have the ability to read music, or guitarists who can read chord symbols, are very welcome and integral to the group.
Note: Students may register for any combination of ensembles up to a total of 8 credits.
