Music does not make itself. It is made by people: professionals and
amateurs, singers and instrumentalists, composers and publishers,
performers and audiences, entrepreneurs and consumers. In turn,
making music shapes those who make it-spiritually, emotionally,
physically, mentally, socially, politically, economically-for good
or ill, harming and healing. This volume considers the social
practice of music from a Christian point of view. Using a variety
of methodological perspectives, the essays explore the ethical and
doctrinal implications of music-making. The reflections are grouped
according to the traditional threefold ministry of Christ: prophet,
priest, and shepherd: the prophetic role of music, as a means of
articulating protest against injustice, offering consolation, and
embodying a harmonious order; the pastoral role of music: creating
and sustaining community, building peace, fostering harmony with
the whole of creation; and the priestly role of music: in service
of reconciliation and restoration, for individuals and communities,
offering prayers of praise and intercession to God. Using music in
priestly, prophetic, and pastoral ways, Christians pray for and
rehearse the coming of God's kingdom-whether in formal worship,
social protest, concert performance, interfaith sharing, or
peacebuilding. Whereas temperance was of prime importance in
relation to the ethics of music from antiquity to the early modern
period, justice has become central to contemporary debates. This
book seeks to contribute to those debates by means of Christian
theological reflection on a wide range of musics: including
monastic chant, death metal, protest songs, psalms and worship
music, punk rock, musical drama, interfaith choral singing, Sting,
and Daft Punk.
