The Musical Studies minor is for students who already have a background in music performance and want to continue to develop their skills. Musical Studies minors have the opportunity to study their instrument in private lessons and participate in ensembles, as well as study music theory and music history. Through the electives, students may explore their own unique musical interests. Students may apply on virtually any instrument, including voice.
I received an excellent musical education and a solid background in theology grounded in the Benedictine tradition at the University of Mary. When I entered St. John University School of Theology in Collegeville, I immediately felt at home and earned an M.A. in Liturgical Studies.
The Benedictine values of hospitality, respect for persons, community, prayer, moderation, and service are at the heart of my experience as a choral conductor. As chair of the Department of Music, I do my best to model these values each day, and I remind students and faculty of the importance of living them intentionally, fully aware of the gift of servant leadership in our classrooms, rehearsals, studios, and fellowship. The joy of exploring music with my students is a journey I savor each day in Concert Choir and Vocal Jazz rehearsals, in music theory, conducting, and sacred music classes.
I am an experienced and energetic educator who has a deep passion for choral music and developing musical and expressive gifts within my students. I seek beauty and truth within the music I experience with my singers (and listeners) and strive to reveal these sacred elements through my work. Sincerely stated, I hold a passionate, personal vision for the role that music and the "creation of art on a daily basis" have in the lives of students, and I surrender myself completely to it. It is essential that, in our world, singers can recognize, experience, and create beauty within it. The choral art is best celebrated by musicians knowing that they are part of something bigger than themselves. That's the kind of experience I want to share with my students and our whole community.
The master of sacred music (MSM) interdisciplinary program combines academics and performance training with the primary purpose of forming professional musicians for work in Christian churches while also providing them with the foundations to pursue a doctorate of musical arts in performance or Ph.D. in music history, ethnomusicology, or liturgics. Through a program of study that builds on Notre Dame's strengths in theology (liturgical studies, lay ministry formation) and music (performance, history, theory), graduates of the program develop high levels of musical skill, as they also gain working knowledge of the worship lives of Christian congregations, integrating the artistic, scholarly and pastoral dimensions requisite for the profession. Students are admitted into one of three studios: organ, choral conducting, or voice. Each graduate is expected to be a well-rounded musician, possessing the necessary skills in playing, conducting, and singing to shape music programs in churches, schools, and the community-at-large. All students have assistantships, many in local churches or in the Notre Dame Children's Choir. The program has an excellent placement rate of nearly one hundred percent.
Keynote speakers will include Tracey Hucks, the Victor S. Thomas Professor of Africana Religious Studies at Harvard Divinity School and the Suzanne Young Murray Professor at Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and Dianne M. Stewart, the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Emory University.
The conference will highlight research and practice from multi-religious perspectives and disparate geographies in the Black Atlantic that consider links between expressive cultures and topics such as climate change, the biodiversity crisis, the human and more-than-human nexus, extractive capitalism in Africa and its diaspora, and links between ecology and ritual material culture. We aim to encourage interdisciplinary conversations about entanglements between the Black sacred arts, ecology, and environmental issues via sonic, visual, and other sensoria that cut across religious, geographic, or other social categories throughout the Black Atlantic and beyond. Proposals on any confluence of religion, ecology, and environmentalism ranging from studies of Black Buddhism to Islam, and research on the Black Church to Santera are welcome.
Accepted presenters and performers in attendance will receive an honorarium of $250 to help defray the cost of travel to New Haven. In addition, they will be provided with hotel accommodations and several meals at the conference.
We welcome abstracts for individual papers and organized panels from advanced graduate students, faculty, scholars working outside the academy, and practitioners. Individual papers and presentations will be allotted 20 minutes apiece; organized panels may include 3-4 presenters. Abstracts should be approximately 300 words in length and accompanied by a 150-word bio or personal narrative. For an organized panel, please include the panel title, a panel abstract, and all individual abstracts compiled together as one submission.
Abstracts should be submitted by December 15, 2023, at ismconferences.submittable.com. If submitting a proposal for an organized panel, the panel organizer or chair should upload a PDF containing the panel title and abstracts from all panel participants. Applicants will need to open a free account with Submittable before uploading abstracts. The following information for individual and panel proposals is requested:
The Master of Music in Black Sacred Music is a three-year, summers-only program housed within the Department of Music. The program offers a unique opportunity for advanced study in Black Sacred Music and its derivatives. Because American music largely finds its roots in Black music, the preservation, proliferation, production and research of this music is included in the study of music in higher education. The curriculum is designed to equip students with the essential tools needed for professional careers that involve the presentation, teaching, and research of Black sacred music. Program participants will receive interdisciplinary training and significant internship opportunities consistent with the work experiences associated with Black sacred music spaces and related industries. The program prepares students for top careers in Black sacred music, and for music study at the doctoral level.
The Master of Music in Black Sacred Music is intended as a summer program. Courses will be offered during each summer and require a minimum of three summers (semesters) for completion. In the year of matriculation, the incoming student would begin the degree program at whichever summer semester is being offered that year. Students will typically enroll in 12 hours each summer term.
The 7th conference by Nazareth University's Hickey Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue and the IIIT Chair for Islamic & Interfaith Studies once again bring together scholars from around the globe to share research on contemporary issues in religion and social sciences.
Inclusive and Exclusive practices have existed since the beginning of humanity. Religious traditions are not immune; rather, many religious leaders have approved these practices either actively or silently. Some of these religious traditions have flourished and others have declined over time, but all have provided interesting modes of inquiry into the human condition.
