This book is a study of music inculturation in Indonesia. It shows
how religious expression can be made relevant in an indigenous
context and how grassroots Christianity is being realized by means
of music. Through the discussion of indigenous expressions of
Christianity, the book presents multiple ways in which Indonesians
reiterate their identity through music by creatively forging
Christian and indigenous elements. This study moves beyond the
discussion (and charge) of syncretism, showing that the inclusion
of local cultural manifestations is an answer to creating a truly
indigenous Christian expression. Marzanna Poplawska, while telling
the story of Indonesian Christians and the multiple ways in which
they live Christianity through music, emphasizes the creative
energy and agency of local people. In their practices she finds
optimism for the continuing existence of many traditional genres
and styles. Indonesian Christians perform their Christian faith
through music, dance, and theater, generating innovative cultural
products that enrich the global Christian heritage. The book is
addressed to a broad spectrum of readers: scholars from a variety
of disciplines - music, religion, anthropology, especially those
interested in interactions between Christianity and indigenous
cultures; general music lovers and World Music enthusiasts eager to
discover musics outside of European realm; as well as Christian
believers, church musicians, and choir directors curious to learn
about Christian music beyond Euro-American context. Students of
religion, sacred music, (ethno)musicology, theater, and dance will
also benefit from learning about a variety of indigenous arts
employed in Christian churches in Indonesia.
