The details for your take-home final exam--worth 25% of your final mark and due in the Humanities drop-box (AQ5120) by noon on Friday, April 15--are as follows:
Part I - 10%
Follow this link to "Sacred, Beautiful, Universal," an hour-long video chronicling a key annual event in the recent renaissance of Gregorian Chant in America. Based on your attentive viewing of this program, provide a 600-750-word reflection on the contemporary significance of Gregorian Chant; you should identify 4-5 key points made in the course of the program as the basis for your reflection, but you may also draw upon your textbook (Hiley) and any other sources which you may find pertinent.
Part II - 5%
Browse the website of the Church Music Association of America, and specifically the archives of their journal Sacred Music. Choose one of the full-length articles from any issue you wish--whichever may have some interest for you--and provide a 300-400 word précis of it. Be sure to both demonstrate a comprehension of the article, and offer your own due consideration of its import.
OR
Browse the New Liturgical Movement website and select one of the full[length articles on sacred art by contemporary artist David Clayton (or suggest another piece to me by e-mail, if you find something you deem appropriate). Follow the instructions above for completing a précis.
Part III - 10%
Provide your own 800-950 word introduction to the Mass in the Middle Ages, drawing upon all the course materials and any other sources you wish. Be sure to include distinct subsections dealing with, for ex., history, theology, art & architecture, social/political/economic dynamics, etc., using as many specific references as possible. Try to achieve a balance between providing a general overview--a "summary" of what you have learned in the course--and the inclusion of details which make your introduction personal and unique.
