Composition

 

Students will develop the skills necessary to become competent composers by studying traditional techniques (harmony, counterpoint, and fugue) and engaging with contemporary artistic expressions. This program is designed to help students gain the expertise needed to work professionally, especially in the fields of sacred and liturgical music.

The Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music awards the bachelor’s degree (3 years), the licentiate (2 years), and the doctorate in applied musicology (3 years).
