Music Global Doorway to Sacred

Catalog description

Music as a Global Doorway to the Sacred will provide students with the opportunity to enter into dialogue and collaboration with members of diverse religious communities, and to discover and explore the similarities and differences in the traditional devotional music of global religious communities, which include Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Through readings, lectures, musical cast recordings, videos, and attendance at live and virtual global religious services, students will encounter and experience the universality of the search for the sacred “ultimate mystery” that is envisioned in Nostra Aetate through the traditional devotional music of global religious communities.
