Music has played a key part in the Church’s worship, but most of the composers we associate with its development historically are male.
Yet women of faith have always composed, just as they have always sung and played music from the earliest times.
Beginning with the soaring plainchant of the visionary tenth century Benedictine Abbess from Germany, Hildegard of Bingen, this course will chart the rich history of women’s involvement in creating sacred music from the very beginning of its western tradition.
Led by Salisbury Cathedral Precentor Anna Macham, this course is intended for anyone interested in how women composed sacred music in different periods of history and in their lives and work. Participants will be encouraged to consider their own spiritual responses to the music we listen to and discuss, and how these composers related to the musical styles and religious contexts of their day.
