This essay collection celebrates the richness of Christian musical tradition across its two thousand year history and across the globe. Opening with a consideration of the fourth-century lamp-lighting hymn Phos hilaron and closing with reflections on contemporary efforts of Ghanaian composers to create Christian worship music in African idioms, the ten contributors engage with a broad ecumenical array of sacred music. Topics encompass Roman Catholic sacred music in medieval and Renaissance Europe, German Lutheran song in the eighteenth century, English hymnody in colonial America, Methodist hymnody adopted by Southern Baptists in the nineteenth century, and Genevan psalmody adapted to respond to the post-war tribulations of the Hungarian Reformed Church. The scope of the volume is further diversified by the inclusion of contemporary Christian topics that address the evangelical methods of a unique Orthodox Christian composer's language, the shared aims and methods of African-American preaching and gospel music, and the affective didactic power of American evangelical "praise and worship" music. New material on several key composers, including Jacob Obrecht, J.S. Bach, George Philipp Telemann, C.P.E. Bach, Zoltan Kodaly, and Arvo Part, appears within the book. Taken together, these essays embrace a stimulating variety of interdisciplinary analytical and methodological approaches, drawing on cultural, literary critical, theological, ritual, ethnographical, and media studies. The collection contributes to discussions of spirituality in music and, in particular, to the unifying aspects of Christian sacred music across time, space, and faith traditions. This collection celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of the Society for Christian Scholarship in Music.

Healing for the Soul - Richard Smallwood, the Vamp, and the Gospel Imagination (Hardcover): Braxton D Shelley Healing for the Soul - Richard Smallwood, the Vamp, and the Gospel Imagination (Hardcover)
Braxton D Shelley
R1,452 Discovery Miles 14 520 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Between the first and last words of a black gospel song, musical sound acquires spiritual power. During this unfolding, a variety of techniques facilitate musical and physical transformation. The most important of these is a repetitive musical cycle known by names including the run, the drive, the special, and the vamp. Through its combination of reiteration and intensification, the vamp turns song lyrics into something more potent. While many musical traditions use vamps to fill space, or occupy time in preparation for another, more important event, in gospel, vamps are the main event. Why is the vamp so central to the black gospel tradition? What work-musical, cultural, and spiritual-does the gospel vamp do? And what does the vamp reveal about the transformative power of black gospel more broadly? This book explores the vamp's essential place in black gospel song, arguing that these climactic musical cycles turn worship services into transcendent events. A defining feature of contemporary gospel, the vamp links individual performances to their generic contexts. An exemplar of African American musical practice, the vamp connects gospel songs to a venerable lineage of black sacred expression. As it generates emotive and physical intensity, the vamp helps believers access an embodied experience of the invisible, moving between this world and another in their musical practice of faith. The vamp, then, is a musical, cultural, and religious interface, which gives vent to a system of belief, performance, and reception that author Braxton D. Shelley calls the Gospel Imagination. In the Gospel Imagination, the vamp offers proof that musical sound can turn spiritual power into a physical reality-a divine presence in human bodies.

An Eternal Pitch - Bishop G. E. Patterson, Broadcast Religion, and the Afterlives of Ecstasy: Braxton D Shelley An Eternal Pitch - Bishop G. E. Patterson, Broadcast Religion, and the Afterlives of Ecstasy
Braxton D Shelley
R681 Discovery Miles 6 810 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

An Eternal Pitch examines the homiletic life and afterlife of Bishop G. E. Patterson, the dynamic spiritual leader of the Church of God in Christ from 2000 to 2007. Although Patterson died in 2007, his voice remains a staple of radio and television broadcast, and his sermons have taken on a life of their own online, where myriad YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok users enact innovative forms of religious broadcasting. Their preoccupation with Patterson’s “Afterliveness” punctuates the significance of Patterson’s preoccupation with musical repetition: across the decades of Patterson’s ministry, a set of musical gestures recur as sonic channels, bringing an individual sermon into contact with scripture’s eternal transmission.

R395 Discovery Miles 3 950 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Shelley Hussey shamelessly puts the "fun" back in dysfunctional in her book, I'm Not OK, You're Not OK, But That's OK With God: Finding the Humor and Healing in Life. I'm Not OK is a hybrid: equal parts self-help, memoir, humor, how-to, inspiration, and motivation. Readers will find it to be a refreshing take on dealing with the shame and blame that often accompanies mental illness-educating and entertaining, frequently in the same paragraph. The book is also a testament to the degree that love and laughter lighten the load of life. Both the author and her husband endured-and overcame-chronic emotional turmoil and mental meltdowns. The author's keen wit and humorous insights, combined with carefully notated substantial references and end-of-chapter words of encouragement, add to the take-away value of I'm Not OK. Take a happy pill-take Hussey's book home. You'll feel lighter in the morning.
