Perspectives from the Choir Loft by Mark Wilken Pdf

In her 1996 Essentials Collection, Dionne Warwick asks, “What’s it all about, Alfie?” Indeed, that is a key question. It’s the cry of a lost soul wondering how life, after chasing excesses that leave his soul in shambles, could have any meaning at all. More than just the title of a song written and made famous almost 60 years ago, the lyrics ask relevant questions haunting the hearts of the lost and searching among us still today. Perspectives From the Choir Loft is a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious devotional book that isn’t afraid to ask why. Why do Christians act the way they do? Why is the Bible still relevant today? And, why are moose never mentioned in the Bible? Relevant questions all. John Lennox, a Christian apologist, recently observed that the Church often does not do well with bringing people to Christ because it does not adequately answer their questions. Perspectives From the Choir Loft is a book designed to encourage thinking about and responding to pertinent questions in a way that breaks away from the usual tried and true approach. So, if you’re willing to spend a few moments thinking about new ways to respond to questions you thought you knew the answers to, then maybe you should consider gaining some new Perspectives From the Choir Loft! thechoirloft.com

Perspectives on Jewish Music by Jonathan L. Friedmann Pdf

Perspectives on Jewish Music presents five unique and engaging explorations of Jewish music. Areas covered include self-expression in contemporary Jewish secular music, the rise of popular music in the American synagogue, the theological requirements of the cantor, the role of women in Sephardic music and society, and the personal reflections of a leading figure in American synagogue music. Its wide-ranging topics and disciplinary approaches give evidence for the centrality of music in Jewish religious and secular life, and demonstrate that Jewish music is as diverse as the Jews themselves. From these studies, readers will gain an appreciation of both what Jewish music is and what it does. This book will be useful for students, practitioners, and scholars of Jewish secular and religious music and Jewish cultural studies, as well as ethnomusicologists specializing in Jewish or religious music.

Focus: Choral Music in Global Perspective by André de Quadros Pdf

Focus: Choral Music in Global Perspective introduces the little-known traditions and repertoires of the world’s choral diversity, from prison choirs in Thailand and gay and lesbian choruses of the Western world to community choruses in the Middle East and youth choirs in the United States. The book weaves together the stories of diverse individuals and organizations, examining their music and pedagogical practices while presenting the author’s research on how choral cultures around the world interact with societies and transform the lives of their members. Through an engaging series of portraits that pushes beyond the scope of extant texts and studies, the author explores the dynamic realm of world choral activity and repertoire. These personal portraits of musical communities are enriched by sample repertoire lists, performance details, and research findings that reposition a once Western phenomenon as a global concept. Focus: Choral Music in Global Perspective is an accessible, engaging, and provocative study of one of the world’s most ubiquitous and socially significant forms of music-making.

Structures and Subjectivities by Adele F. Seeff,Joan Hartman Pdf

Structures and Subjectivities refers to what we can and probably cannot know about women in the early modern period. Scholars study the societal structures their disciplines call attention to; they are left to infer the subjectivities, the lived experience, of women whose lives they attempt to reconstruct. The authors of the essays in the volume, the fifth to emerge from conferences held by the University of Maryland's Center for Renaissance & Baroque Studies, place the largest possible meanings on structures. They consider geographical boundaries and political and ecclesiastical institutions, the gendering of hierarchies and the power of place, the spaces that women constructed, inhabited, traveled in and worked in and, by extension, the literary and artistic conventions that both enabled and constrained their artistic production. They also consider, in several essays on pedagogy, the structures in which they and their students pursue the study of early modern women: institutions, departments, and classrooms. Joan E. Hartman is Professor of English emerita at the College of Staten Island, The City University of New York. at the University of Maryland.

Historic Churches of New Mexico Today by Frank Graziano Pdf

This interpretive guide combines history and ethnography to represent living traditions at the adobe and stone churches of New Mexico. Each chapter treats a particular church or group of churches and includes photographs, practical information for visitors, and context pertinent to current understanding. Frank Graziano provides unprecedented coverage of the churches by combining his extensive fieldwork with research in archives and previous scholarship. The book is written in an engaging narrative prose that brings the reader inside of congregations in Indian and Hispanic villages. The focus is less on church buildings than on people in relation to churches -- parishioners, caretakers, priests, restorers -- and on the author's experiences researching among them.
