Courses to Be Offered Soon. ‘The task of establishing the new school of music was completed by the executive committee and board of trus- tecs of the university. The university, at its coming Sum- mer session, will give a limited num- ber of courses in liturgical music. The university board of trustees has already assigned a site on the campus, where the building for the School of Liturgical Music will be erected at once. ‘This building will be close to the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the uni- versity church now under construction. Mgr. Ryan hopes that construction of the new music school building will be- gin at once. ‘The School of Liturgical Music will be administered by Dr. Longchamps, who already been elected dean of the school. Dr. Des Longchamps has been professor of music at Catholic University for the past four years. He repared for his teaching work in the st schools of liturgical music in Eu- rope, in Rome, Vienna, Beuron, and with the Fathers of Solesmes. A facul- ty, many of the members of which are leaders of international fame in their respective fields, is being organized by Des Longchamps and will be ready to give regular instruction at the opening of the new school year. Special em- phasis will be placed on teaching and | research in the liturgy of the church, under the direction of a prominent Eu- ropean scholar, whose name will be an- nounced shortly. Open to Undergraduates. ‘The school will be open to under- graduate students preparing for the degree B. S. in music. The aim will be not only to prepare cholr leaders and teachers of ¢hurch music, but also research students in the various de- partments of this important branch of | artistic knowledge. The school will offer courses in liturgical music, school music, applied music, theory, harmony, point and fugue, and graduate | courses leading to higher degrees. The curriculum will follow closely the courses now being given at such famous schools as the Pontifical School of Sacred Music in Rome and the Academy of Church Music in Vienna. The School of Liturgical Musie will eonfine its work to the field of chant and classical church music, and will not engage in general musical educa- tion. Its fundamental purpose is to build up a better understanding and appreciation of Gregorian chant and of classic polyphony. All modern vocal church music _composed since Pales- trina is excluded expressly from the objectives of the school.
