RS 332 AR - Celebrating the Mystery


Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

Liturgy has been called “the synthesis of the arts.” For centuries the celebration of Mystery in daily, weekly, and annual celebrations has inspired and, for most of history, financed the creation and performance of music, art, architecture and theater. This course traces the evolution of select ritual celebrations in the Jewish and Christian traditions and the ways that music, art, texts, and architecture give expression to the experience of Mystery and to the theological, political and ecological worldviews of each age. Students will observe/participate in contemporary liturgical celebrations at area synagogues and churches and join in the preparation of liturgical music, art, and celebration.

Prerequisite(s): COR 1 or COR 199
