Music in Christian worship today

More about the book

"Music in Christian Worship Today is a cross-cultural historical study of the Nigerian practice of composing songs for worship that cut across cultures. Due to the interdisciplinary character of the subject matter, the book adopts a historical musicological method and partly a ethnomusicological method (fieldwork supplemented by interviews and a questionnaire). The objectives are to arouse interest in the study of different manifestations of worship music in multicultural contexts, to contribute to ongoing efforts to allow a culturally diverse faith community to participate actively in worship through culturally grounded songs, and to provide some Nigerian examples of worship music to a larger readership."--
