Despite the world-wide association of music and dance with
religion, this is the first full-length study of the subject from a
global perspective. The work consists of 3,816 references divided
among 37 chapters. It covers tribal, regional, and global religions
and such subjects as shamanism, liturgical dance, healing, and the
relationship of music, mathematics, and mysticism. The referenced
materials display such diverse approaches as analysis of music and
dance, description of context, direct experience, observation, and
speculation. The references address topics from such disciplines as
sociology, anthropology, history, linguistics, musicology,
ethnomusicology, theology, medicine, semiotics, and computer
technology. Chapter 1 consists of general references to religious
music and dance. The remaining 36 chapters are organized according
to major geographical areas. Most chapters begin with general
reference works and bibliographies, then continue with topics
specific to the region or religion. This book will be of use to
anyone with an interest in music, dance, religion, or culture.
