Where Did That Tune Come From?
 July 13 & 20

The hymns we sing each week have two parts: the text and the music. Perhaps you’ve wondered why a particular tune is so powerfully associated with a certain text, or why we sometimes use a different tune with a favorite text. This two-session class will address those and other musical issues of hymnody old and new. Come prepared to sing!  Led by Dr. Timothy Howard.

Pilgrimage and the Search for Renewal

Led by Dr. Mark Smutny
