Intended for liturgical music majors as well as professional
pastoral musicians, pastors, and liturgical practitioners, "Liturgy
and Music" provides a solid introduction to the scope and role of
liturgical music in both Catholic and Christian worship. It offers
a comprehensive theological approach to liturgical music and breaks
new ground for both a theology of liturgy and a theology of
liturgical music.
"Liturgy and Music"is divided into two parts, worship/liturgy"
and "liturgical music." Part one covers foundational topics in
worship/liturgy, including the liturgical year, sacred time, space,
and symbols, ritual, Eucharist, homily, and the worshiping
assembly. Part two examines liturgical/church music, including its
forms and functions, music as liturgy and prayer, music as
corporate praise in both the Reformation and Catholic traditions,
and formation for liturgical music. Each part concludes with a
bibliographic chapter.
It is a lifetime learning process to discover new ways that
musical liturgy can raise people up to encounter God in praise and
thanksgiving. "Liturgy and Music" assists that learning process by
leading liturgical music professionals and others to a
full-throated worship of God.
