Reviews
Admirable in its geographic reach and in its range of historical and ethnographic approaches, this volume offers a stimulating and welcome set of case studies that shed new light on areas of Christian sacred music that have not yet received the attention they deserve. -- Stephen A. Crist, professor of music history, Emory University Christian Sacred Music in the Americas is a brilliantly interdisciplinary collection. The chapters coalesce to form a kaleidoscopic view-one that illuminates not only aspects of worship and spirituality but also of resistance, resilience, and reconciliation. -- Eftychia Papanikolaou, Associate professor of musicology, Bowling Green State University Refreshingly, this insightful volume expands the geographical frame from the typical focus on North America to the Americas, weaving Central and South American perspectives into its rich tapestry of voices. It is an excellent addition to any sacred music or American music course. -- Monique Ingalls, associate professor of music; affiliated faculty, religion, Baylor University
