Description
The Revised Common Lectionary provides ample opportunities for creativity. Church musicians may find shorter texts, such as gospel acclamations and psalm refrains, to be a goldmine for composition. Participants in this seminar will be invited to choose from a group of selected texts and will be given time to create a gospel acclamation or psalm refrain for use in their own community.
