Book excerpt: Seven Words of Worship combines biblical truth, practical application, and inspiring real life stories to clarify the reader's understanding and living out of w orship, focusing the spiritual practice on seven key words: Creation; Grace; Love; Response; Expression; Presence; Experience. Indeed, worship is a leading topic throughout the church today and the central purpose for gathering the body of Christ each week. But worship style and technique are often divisive elements among believers as well.

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.

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 2022-09 with total page 0 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.

Download or read book Reverberating Word written by Michael Denham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like sounds of beautiful music, worship can renew us for God’s glory and our good by the invigorating power of God’s reverberating Word. It is God’s story that redeems all our stories. We want to tell it again and again as best we can, clearly conveying its message, meaning, richness, claim, and call. Through its every facet and component, worship that is biblically expositional can heighten how we proclaim God’s story, faithfully and creatively pointing to the One who alone offers us true identity, security, and destiny. “If you seek me you will find me, if you search with all your heart,” declares the Lord. With the ancient prophets and apostles we must repeat and repeat and repeat the most wonderful truth that God wants to be found. In Christian worship such tremendous and tender encounter is available to us as nowhere else.

Download or read book Church Music in History and Practice written by Charles Winfred Douglas and published by New York, Scribner. This book was released on 1937 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Solidly based on the scientific research of scholars, but free from needless professional technicalities, this volume treats both the liturgical text of church services and the words of the hymns together with the music that has grown up with them as parts of an indivisible whole attuned to the worship of God. The lecture series given by Canon Douglas at the invitation of the Committee of the Hale Foundation at the Seabury-Western Theological Seminary has served as the basis for the extensive synthesis which the author has accomplished in this volume. In preparing the work he has had in mind primarily the needs of Clergy, Seminarians and Organists, as well as interested laymen, and it is his purpose to teach as clearly and concisely as possible the underlying principles of musical worship, too often forgotten or never acquired. His work first traces the relationship between worship and music from the beginning of the Christian Church to the present time. The author has not attempted to give a detailed history of the art of music, but has followed the development of Christian liturgical worship and the Christian Hymns with the music that expressed them in significant periods of Church History. He then arrives at practical and intelligent conclusions regarding the present musical worship of the Church and promulgates, and illustrates the principles that should govern the composition, the choice, and the performance of liturgical Church Music today." -- BOOK JACKET.
