The Oxford Handbook of Music and World Christianities investigates
music's role in everyday practice and social history across the
diversity of Christian religions and practices around the globe.
The volume explores Christian communities in the Americas, Europe,
Africa, Asia, and Australia as sites of transmission,
transformation, and creation of deeply diverse musical traditions.
The book's contributors, while mostly rooted in ethnomusicology,
examine Christianities and their musics in methodologically diverse
ways, engaging with musical sound and structure, musical and social
history, and ethnography of music and musical performance. These
broad materials explore five themes: music and missions, music and
religious utopias (and other oppositional religious communities),
music and conflict, music and transnational flows, and music and
everyday life. The volume as a whole, then, approaches Christian
groups and their musics as diverse and powerful windows into the
way in which music, religious ideas, capital, and power circulate
(and change) between places, now and historically. It also tries to
take account of the religious self-understandings of these groups,
presenting Christian musical practice and exchange as encompassing
and negotiating deeply felt and deeply rooted moral and cultural
values. Given that the centerpiece of the volume is Christian
religious musical practice, the volume reveals the active role
music plays in maintaining and changing religious, moral, and
cultural values in a long history of intercultural and
transnational encounters.
