 Sewanee, Tennessee The Music Department at the University of the South has a twofold mission: (1) we seek to provide professionally oriented instruction for a relatively small number of music majors and minors, and (2) we seek to provide music ensemble opportunities and humanistically oriented music history and literature courses for the student body at large.

In addition, a Cassavant Ferres organ with over 3,000 speaking pipes is located in All Saints' Chapel.
