Come Share the Joy; Voices of Hope Choir
MUS2122.02
Course Description
Summary
This singing ensemble is dedicated to the preservation and performance of African-American sacred and inspirational music and other songs from the African diaspora (including South and West African and Caribbean songs). Messages of hope, faith, healing, of striving for justice and peace and of celebrating life will be the focuses for this singing experience. The course will culminate in a program on campus where we will share from the music we’ve learned. There may be an opportunity for a field trip to visit and sing at a local church/school. Please note that every member, whether taking it for credit or not, is expected to fulfill the same requirements and share the same commitments.
