Putting Music to the Psalms

The Psalms were meant to be sung or chanted in biblical times not just read. My goal is to put music to 10 Psalms during this semester to assist in making them come to life for the listeners/participators. I will be explaining my project including steps and technique that helped me and then performing 2 of the Psalms.

Musical Influences in Middle Earth

When J.R.R. Tolkien created Middle Earth in his book The Hobbit, he was influenced by previous literary, musical works. Tolkien was a scholar of the epic Beowulf and used this tale to influence his famous story. He was also influenced by The Song of Nibelungs and other Norse and Germanic sagas. When Tolkien was a young man, before he started writing The Hobbit, Richard Wagner and his opera, The Ring of Nibelung, was very popular in Europe. There are many similarities between Wagner and Tolkien’s works, but Tolkien claims that “both rings were round, and there the resemblance ceases.” This presentation will be exploring the musical influences that Tolkien drew from to create his stories in Middle Earth, as well as look at the similarities between Wagner’s opera and Tolkien’s books.

Christ’s Ascension

My capstone project will inspire individuals to reflection based on the understanding of the relevance of Christ’s ascension to today’s world. I will focus on three main events that make up the ascension as a whole: The Word blesses us, we, as disciples, worship Him, we recognize the great joy in Christ and praise Him. Knowledge of these events, while the event itself remains a mystery because of its indescribable characteristics, will be expounded upon by the study of biblical, historical and theological references. Special attention will be paid to the actions of the disciples directly after Christ’s ascension into heaven.

Music Industry

My capstone is a recording project that highlights the process of a sound engineer and all steps involved in creating a professionally produced song. After the planning process is conducted the recording and collaboration then takes place in the studio followed by editing the vocals. Using my knowledge of music theory, along with my piano lessons I plan to create a soundscape of sounds in addition to the vocals. I will then play and record a variety of live and virtual instruments into the project. The next step involves editing the recordings, followed by mixing and mastering the song.

Maundy Thursday: A New Commandment of Love

The season of Lent ends with the Triduum, a period of three days that represent the journey Jesus took into his crucifixion and resurrection.  These three days include Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.  Most church populations know what Good Friday and Easter Sunday are, but in today’s churches most of the population does not know what Maundy Thursday is.  Maundy Thursday is a day for us to remember the new commandment of love that Jesus gave to his disciples as he washed their feet in John 13, and therefore a new commandment of love that he gives to each of us.  How can we take this new commandment of love and represent it in our daily walk with God?

To Nashville and Back

Learning here at the University has been great, but that experience was the stepping-stone to my time in Nashville. At the Contemporary Music Center we lived, breathed, and hardly slept music. From all aspect of live production, building foundations in the studio, to taking a live hologram on tour, we got our education’s worth in a matter of a little over a dozen weeks. Not only was the experience great, but so was the content and creativity that came out of it.

History and Application of Good Friday Service

From the event of Christ’s death to the realism and understanding of this event for the Church today history shows us that the we deeply benefit from this journey to the cross and the days of Christ’s death. Throughout the span of history the global Church has had some form of this liturgy whether the title is “Good Friday” or not. What are the components of this service? What elements provide us with a look into this service and why is a service telling of Christ’s death called “Good Friday”?
