The Padre Félix Varela Institute of Ecclesiastical Studies, together with the Cathedra of Sacred Music of the Padre Félix Varela Cultural Center, summons the edition of an Introduction to Sacred Music Seminar. This academic offer is aimed at the teaching and instruction of those musicians active in the exercise of the musical liturgy in the parishes and churches of the diocese of Havana. The proposal is gestated as a result of a growing demand for these singers and instrumentalists, interested in deepening their knowledge of this special type of music. At the same time, it constitutes a pastoral strategy to respond to this need, in order to promote the practice of music in our communities with increasing excellence.
The Introduction to Sacred Music Seminar is made up of two modules of practical and theoretical content. As part of the practicals there are Initiation to choral singing and Initiation to choral conducting. The theorists are made up of Musical Appreciation applied to sacred music and Initiation to the liturgy.
Module I Date: From Monday, July 29 to Friday, August 2 Hours: 5:00 PM-7:00PM Place: Room 4 and 5 of the SMI Cathedral of Havana Subjects: Initiation to choral singing, Initiation to choral conducting. Module II Date: From Monday, August 5 to Friday, August 9 Hours: 5:00 PM-7:00PM Place: Room 4 of the SMI Cathedral of Havana Subjects: Musical appreciation applied to sacred music, Initiation to the liturgy.
