Where might we look for some semblance of unity in the multiplicity and diversity of style and culture which proliferates in liturgical music today? This seminar offers participants the opportunity of discussing current issues in church music, ranging from the amateur to the professional, high church to evangelical worship, poetry, text, language, culture, theology, and much more besides. Melville Waters will approach these issues from his catholicity of background and experience. He was born into a Methodist manse, and immersed from his earliest memories in the sounds of organ, choir and congregational hymnody. During his undergraduate years, he was actively involved in the composition and performance of contemporary church music. Simultaneously, and seemingly by way of contradiction, he found that he was drawn increasingly to the spiritual, liturgical and musical traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. Professor Waters and his wife, Nina, were received into the Roman Catholic Church almost ten years later. They are parishoners of St Francis Church, Lonsdale Street.   Date Tuesday 28 August Time 7.30 - 9.30 pm Venue St Peter's, Eastern Hill, Melbourne Cost $15 (includes light refreshment) Conductor: Associate Prof Melville Waters, Director of the Melba Memorial Conservatorium of Music
