This session is part of a three-session webinar series on this topic; however, the webinars are standalone and may be viewed in any order. St. Paul urges us to “encourage one another through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with hearts full of thankfulness to God” (Colossians 3:16). In this three-part webinar series, we will examine each of these categories through the lenses of useful repertory for children’s choirs, rehearsal strategies and pedagogy, and liturgical use at children’s liturgies and school masses.
Webinar #3: Spiritual Songs This third and final webinar examines spiritual songs as expressions of faith shaped by form, style, and culture. Participants will explore prayerful texts, scriptural adaptations, and enduring repertory suitable for children’s choirs and liturgies. Rehearsal considerations and teaching strategies will be shared to help young singers sing with authenticity, understanding, and spiritual depth while honoring the liturgical context.
