Scala Foundation | Sir James MacMillan Discusses Tradition and Creativity in Music @ScalaFoundation | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Behold, I Make All Things New: A Discussion on Sacred Music and Popular Culture and a Concert of New Sacred Music by Living Composers is an event that promotes the renewal of culture and tradition!
The event was held at the Princeton Theological Seminary Chapel on June 15 beginning with a discussion with Sir James MacMillan, Dr. Margarita Mooney Clayton, and Peter Carter on how noble and accessible sacred music can once again shape all popular culture. The discussion was followed by a choral concert of music by all living composers: eight new choral works based on the texts of the Antiphons of Corpus Christi as well as music by renowned composers James MacMillan and Paul Jernberg.
This event was organized by the Catholic Sacred Music Project and proudly co-sponsored by the Scala Foundation, Benedict XVI Institute, Magnificat Institute, and the Aquinas Institute of Princeton University. We are grateful to the Princeton Theological Seminary Chapel for hosting this event.
