Sacred Music Sabbatical?
  • If you could do a 1-2 month sabbatical completely focused on sacred music with the twofold purpose of personal renewal and renewal of parish music, what would you do?

    If I could take a 2 month sabbatical, I would focus on anything but music and parishes.

    For personal renewal, I would go to my (oblate) monastery and simply work and pray with the monks. I have done this for simpler (1-2 week retreats) and it has been the most amazing renewal I have ever experienced.

    If I had to focus on both personal renewal and renewal of parish music, I have no idea where I would ever start.

    I feel like a research sabbatical and a sabbatical for rest and renewal are two VERY different things.
