The main objective of this research was to explore the impact of music in facilitating development and growth in the church and used Highfield Church of Christ (HCOC) as a case study. The research gives a brief summary of the history of HCOC as its view of music could have hardly been understood without first tracing the historical context. The research also traced the use of music in the Old Testament, New Testament, church history and in African Traditional Religion to see how the use of music during those ages impacts church music today. The Natural Church Development (NCD) Model and the Bonsai Theory of Church Growth are theoretical frameworks which were used to inform the study. To collect data, the researcher used questionnaires, interviews and observation.
Book Synopsis The Influence of Music on the Development of the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) by : Benson Vaughan
Download or read book The Influence of Music on the Development of the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) written by Benson Vaughan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the influence of music on the development of the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee). This narrative is historically driven, but relies upon an interdisciplinary approach to draw on the insights of ecclesiology, theology, liturgiology, church development, and especially music. This study utilizes a chronological and systematic approach to the relationship between music and the Church of God in the United States during the first 125 years of the denomination's history, from 1886 to 2011. For over a century, music has been an often-neglected dialogue partner at the table of academic discussion and this research argues for recognition and a proper place in Pentecostal history. Along with primary and secondary sources, the important element of "living archives" is investigated in this work; these are interviews with people who participated in historical music events in the Church of God. The book also relies upon musical examples to explore the influence of music upon the shaping of the denomination's history and theology.
Book Synopsis Christian Congregational Music by : Monique Ingalls
Download or read book Christian Congregational Music written by Monique Ingalls and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Congregational Music explores the role of congregational music in Christian religious experience, examining how musicians and worshippers perform, identify with and experience belief through musical praxis. Contributors from a broad range of fields, including music studies, theology, literature, and cultural anthropology, present interdisciplinary perspectives on a variety of congregational musical styles - from African American gospel music, to evangelical praise and worship music, to Mennonite hymnody - within contemporary Europe and North America. In addressing the themes of performance, identity and experience, the volume explores several topics of interest to a broader humanities and social sciences readership, including the influence of globalization and mass mediation on congregational music style and performance; the use of congregational music to shape multifaceted identities; the role of mass mediated congregational music in shaping transnational communities; and the function of music in embodying and imparting religious belief and knowledge. In demonstrating the complex relationship between ’traditional’ and ’contemporary’ sounds and local and global identifications within the practice of congregational music, the plurality of approaches represented in this book, as well as the range of musical repertoires explored, aims to serve as a model for future congregational music scholarship.

Book Synopsis Church Music Through the Lens of Performance by : Marcell Silva Steuernagel
Download or read book Church Music Through the Lens of Performance written by Marcell Silva Steuernagel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-14 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an investigation into church music through the lens of performance theory, both as a discipline and as a theoretical framework. Scholars who address religious music making in general, and Christian church music in particular, use "performance" in a variety of ways, creating confusion around the term. A systematized performance vocabulary for the study of church music can support interdisciplinary investigations of Christian congregational music making in today’s complex, interconnected world. From the perspective of performance theory, all those involved in church musicking are performing, be it from platform or pew. The book employs a hybrid methodology that combines ethnographic research and theory from ritual studies, ethnomusicology, theology, and church music scholarship to establish performance studies as a possible "next step" in church music studies. It demonstrates the feasibility of studying church music as performance by analyzing ethnographic case studies using a developmental framework based on the concepts of ritual, embodiment, and play/change. This book offers a fresh perspective on Christian congregational music making. It will, therefore, be a key reference work for scholars working in Congregational Music Studies, Ethnomusicology, Ritual Studies and Performance Studies, as well as practitioners interested in examining their own church music practices.

Book Synopsis A Philosophy of Church Music by : Robert D. Berglund
Download or read book A Philosophy of Church Music written by Robert D. Berglund and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Berglund says a worship service is not a concert time. It is not an hour of entertainment. It is a time to worship God in spirit and in truth. In the Christian realm, however, the worship service seems to be a musical battleground. On one hand, church music is seen as utilitarian. Its only purpose is to allow worship to begin or continue throughout a church service. On the other hand, music can exist purely for entertainment. But is a worship service the place for entertainment? Shouldn't a worship service be designed only to worship God? A Philosophy of Church Music presents an integrated look at church music. Theological, philosophical, and psychological responses to the question of appropriate and consistent church music are considered to assist you in developing your personal church music philsophy. - Jacket.
Book Synopsis Making Congregational Music Local in Christian Communities Worldwide by : Monique M. Ingalls
Download or read book Making Congregational Music Local in Christian Communities Worldwide written by Monique M. Ingalls and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean for music to be considered local in contemporary Christian communities, and who shapes this meaning? Through what musical processes have religious beliefs and practices once ‘foreign’ become ‘indigenous’? How does using indigenous musical practices aid in the growth of local Christian religious practices and beliefs? How are musical constructions of the local intertwined with regional, national or transnational religious influences and cosmopolitanisms? Making Congregational Music Local in Christian Communities Worldwide explores the ways that congregational music-making is integral to how communities around the world understand what it means to be ‘local’ and ‘Christian’. Showing how locality is produced, negotiated, and performed through music-making, this book draws on case studies from every continent that integrate insights from anthropology, ethnomusicology, cultural geography, mission studies, and practical theology. Four sections explore a central aspect of the production of locality through congregational music-making, addressing the role of historical trends, cultural and political power, diverging values, and translocal influences in defining what it means to be ‘local’ and ‘Christian’. This book contends that examining musical processes of localization can lead scholars to new understandings of the meaning and power of Christian belief and practice.

Book Synopsis Congregational Music-Making and Community in a Mediated Age by : Anna E. Nekola
Download or read book Congregational Music-Making and Community in a Mediated Age written by Anna E. Nekola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congregational music can be an act of praise, a vehicle for theology, an action of embodied community, as well as a means to a divine encounter. This multidisciplinary anthology approaches congregational music as media in the widest sense - as a multivalent communication action with technological, commercial, political, ideological and theological implications, where processes of mediated communication produce shared worlds and beliefs. Bringing together a range of voices, promoting dialogue across a range of disciplines, each author approaches the topic of congregational music from his or her own perspective, facilitating cross-disciplinary connections while also showcasing a diversity of outlooks on the roles that music and media play in Christian experience. The authors break important new ground in understanding the ways that music, media and religious belief and praxis become ’lived theology’ in our media age, revealing the rich and diverse ways that people are living, experiencing and negotiating faith and community through music.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Worship Music and Everyday Musical Lives by : Mark Porter
Download or read book Contemporary Worship Music and Everyday Musical Lives written by Mark Porter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst Contemporary Worship Music arose out of a desire to relate the music of the church to the music of everyday life, this function can quickly be called into question by the diversity of musical lives present in contemporary society. Mark Porter examines the relationship between individuals’ musical lives away from a Contemporary Worship Music environment and their diverse experiences of music within it, presenting important insights into the complex and sometimes contradictory relationships between congregants’ musical lives within and outside of religious worship. Through detailed ethnographic investigation Porter challenges common evangelical ideals of musical neutrality, suggesting the importance of considering musical tastes and preferences through an ethical lens. He employs cosmopolitanism as an interpretative framework for understanding the dynamics of diverse musical communities, positioning it as a stronger alternative to common assimilationist and multiculturalist models.
