Why do the books of Chronicles regard the performance of choral
music as an integral part of the sacrificial ritual at the temple,
despite the lack of sanction for it in the Pentateuch? And why do
they stress that it must be synchronized with the presentation of
the regular public burnt offering at the temple? These and other
questions are answered in this challenging new volume. After an
introductory chapter defining the scope of the study as an analysis
of the ritual function and theological significance of sacred song,
the author examines the divine institution and royal establishment
of the Levitical choir in Jerusalem. This is followed by an
examination of the components of the Lord's song in terms of its
contents, location, times, instruments and performers. A chapter on
the function of sacred song as determined by its place within the
sacrificial ritual follows, and the fifth chapter deals with its
theological significance as the proclamation of the Lord's presence
with his people.
