Advanced Modes

Catalog description

Taking off from where Introduction to Modes leaves off, students will explore not only how the modes are integrated into liturgy but will begin to use them as a basis for their own improvisational work. Students will have ample time to practice and perform their ideas in a small and warm environment. Emphasis will focus on the recognition of the correct mode for each prayer service and then, on its use as a vehicle for personal expression in the service of bringing more, or new, meaning to the prayer experience. Offered periodically.
