How music makes worship and how worship makes music in Evangelical
churches Music is a nearly universal feature of congregational
worship in American churches. Congregational singing is so
ingrained in the experience of being at church that it is often
misunderstood to be synonymous with worship. For those who assume
responsibility for making music for congregational use, the
relationship between music and worship is both promising and
perilous - promise in the power of musical style and collective
singing to facilitate worship, peril in the possibility that the
experience of the music might eclipse the worship it was written to
facilitate. As a result, those committed to making music for
worship are constantly reminded of the paradox that they are
writing songs for people who wish to express themselves, as
directly as possible, to God. This book shines a new light on how
people who make music for worship also make worship from music.
Based on interviews with more than 75 songwriters, worship leaders,
and music industry executives, Shout to the Lord maps the social
dimensions of sacred practice, illuminating how the producers of
worship music understand the role of songs as both vehicles for,
and practices of, faith and identity. This book accounts for the
human qualities of religious experience and the practice of
worship, and it makes a compelling case for how - sometimes - faith
comes by hearing.
