| Abstract | Originally published in 1988, this practical resource has become a basic text in the study of church music, as well as a handbook for church music leaders, pastors, music committee members, and others. The author has updated and expanded the volume to reflect the current challenges of contemporary culture, musical and worship styles, and integrity to the gospel. Besides offering practical suggestions, the author discusses music in the worship life of a congregation and introduces the concept of cantor as leader of the people's song. More than a "how-to" manual for musicians, this book is an interdisciplinary study of worship, music, and theology accessible to everyone. |
