Church mu­sic

When it co­mes to church mu­sic, the first thing that co­mes to mind is Jo­hann Se­bas­ti­an Bach, his per­fect, tim­e­less "St. Matthew Pas­si­on", for ex­am­p­le: Not­hing could be clo­ser - but that is not en­ough from our point of view. An­yo­ne pro­fes­sio­nal­ly in­vol­ved in church mu­sic to­day en­coun­ters a wide ran­ge of fa­sci­na­ting ex­pres­si­ons of clas­si­cal mu­sic from Mon­te­ver­di to Men­dels­sohn to Mes­siaen, as well as jazz and pop. The field of work has ne­ver been more di­ver­se and yet ra­re­ly so sta­ble. The fact is: our gra­dua­tes are in gre­at de­mand!

Church Mu­sic as Art in Rhi­ne-Main

In your stu­dies, you can ex­pect a den­se cur­ri­cu­lum with the core sub­jects of cho­ral con­duc­ting, or­gan and or­gan im­pro­vi­sa­ti­on - both in the Ba­che­lor and in the Mas­ter's pro­gram. You can de­ve­lop your own ar­tis­tic pro­fi­le in a self-de­ter­mi­ned way and find cont­act with prac­ti­ce and pro­jects at an ear­ly stage. Feel free to say hel­lo on our Face­book page: In the Rhi­ne-Main re­gi­on, we work with num­erous pa­ris­hes, use si­gni­fi­cant or­gans for tea­ching, and main­tain a clo­se ex­ch­an­ge with re­pre­sen­ta­ti­ves of the dio­ce­ses and re­gio­nal churches in Hes­se, as well as with in­sti­tu­ti­ons such as Goe­the Uni­ver­si­ty Frank­furt.

The sub­jects or­gan, cho­ral con­duc­ting and or­ches­tral con­duc­ting are also of­fe­red by the HfMDK as in­de­pen­dent cour­ses of stu­dy wi­thin the pro­grams in In­stru­men­tal Stu­dies (Fo­cus: Per­for­mance).
