Resounding Transcendence is a pathbreaking set of ethnographic and
historical essays by leading scholars exploring the ways sacred
music effects cultural, political, and religious transitions in the
contemporary world. With chapters covering Christian, Muslim,
Jewish, and Buddhist practices in East and Southeast Asia, the
Indian subcontinent, North America, the Caribbean, North Africa,
and Europe, the volume establishes the theoretical and
methodological foundations for music scholarship to engage in
current debates about modern religion and secular epistemologies.
It also transforms those debates through sophisticated, nuanced
treatments of sound and music - ubiquitous elements of ritual and
religion often glossed over in other disciplines. Resounding
Transcendence confronts the relationship of sound, divinity, and
religious practice in diverse post-secular contexts. By examining
the immanence of transcendence in specific social and historical
contexts and rethinking the reified nature of "religion" and "world
religions," these authors examine the dynamics of difference and
transition within and between sacred musical practices. The work in
this volume transitions between traditional spaces of sacred
musical practice and emerging public spaces for popular religious
performance; between the transformative experience of ritual and
the sacred musical affordances of media technologies; between the
charisma of individual performers and the power of the marketplace;
and between the making of authenticity and hybridity in religious
repertoires and practices. Broad in scope, rich in ethnographic and
historical detail, and theoretically ambitious, Resounding
Transcendence is an essential contribution to the study of music
and religion.
