Liturgical Singing Part II

Date:  Place: ONLINE

Third and fourth part of the course held in May 2021 and published on the Chorus Inside youtube channel.

The course was born from the will of the Ass.ne CHORUS INSIDE CALABRIA together with FEDERCORI, with the aim of offering an instrument of knowledge, of full awareness of the profound meaning of Singing in the liturgical celebration.

Msgr. Marco Frisina, who for years has been bringing his experience as a priest, musician and teacher to many Italian and foreign Dioceses, will guide us on a path that will provide the elements to answer some of the most frequent questions that our singers ask us:

– What is the fundamental function of liturgical singing?

– Can the ritual and the musical beauty coexist?

– Is there a theology of sacred music?

– execution: entrusted to volunteers or professionals?
