Hymnody and Liturgics MUSC205 Fall Semester, 2017 Tuesday, Thursday, 10:30-11:20 Prof. Dennis Marzolf YFAC 209 [email protected] 507-317-9584

Proposed Syllabus, August 3, 2017

Course Description: The history and development of hymnody and liturgical forms in the Western Church, especially as they relate to the Lutheran Divine Service, pedagogy and devotion. Special emphasis on the chorale and hymnody of the traditions of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. The course integrates the academic disciplines of music, history and theology.

Course objectives: Students will demonstrate a conversant knowledge of hymnody in the liturgical life of the church, and articulate the unique doctrinal posture of the Lutheran church as it is reflected in the liturgy of the church. Students are invited to grow in appreciation of the liturgy as a means of Gospel proclamation and teaching in the church, school and home. Hopefully all the students will discover some new “friends” in the world of the Christian worship as a result of this class.

By the end of the term students will be able to: 1. identify the four liturgical blueprints of the western Christian tradition, and 2. relate the practices of song to those blueprints (How is the song of the Office different from the Mass, for instance…) 3. explain the relationship between the rule of faith (doctrine) and the way of prayer (liturgy).

They will also be able to 4. identify the major themes, personalities, and dates of various eras and events in the history of Christian worship; (Music Outcome 5) 5. describe their longterm impact upon the patterns and content of the liturgy and hymnody of the church. (Music Outcome 2)

6. Students will also be able to identify at least 30 representative chorale and tunes according to tune name and theological/historical tradition. (Music Outcome 5).

Course methodology: Students will complete readings on the course outline in order to prepare for active participation and contribution to class discussion. A short quiz will begin each class.

Evaluation: The daily quiz will form the bulk of the grade. Quizzes will be based on class discussion, reading assignments and hymn memorization. It’s assumed that everyone will be both and active and an actual participant in the course.

Course Methods: Through readings, music listening, hymn memorization and class lectures and discussions the students will learn to understand and appreciate the practice of liturgy in the Christian Church, and the special role of music within that practice.

6. Students will also be able to identify at least 30 of the most important chorale and hymn tunes. In addition they will memorize key terms relating to the liturgy of the church and the theology of worship.

The reading load is significant; however there will be no writing project in the class beyond a rare well-crafted sentence in the daily quizzes.

Evaluation: Most sessions will begin with a quiz designed to reinforce the material of the previous sessions and the assigned readings and questions for the day. These quizzes (of ten to twenty points each) will accumulate to form the grade. Most of the quiz questions will be drawn from the study questions provided by the instructor. Please keep track of your “record” with each day. A = 90% +; B = 80%-89%; C = 65%-79%; D = 55%-64%; F 54% or less.
