    Equinox Publishing Ltd Open Up the Doors: Music in the Modern Church

    Book SynopsisThere has been much passionate debate and emotion aroused by the introduction of contemporary music styles into the modern church. While these debates have rarely produced a victor, the detrimental effects of them have resonated throughout many Protestant churches worldwide. Rather than simply fuelling this debate further, "Open Up The Doors" represents an attempt to provide objective criteria and analytical frameworks by which the quality and function of contemporary congregational music can be assessed. The latest music from Hillsong, Soul Survivor, Parachute, Vineyard, Christian City and others is examined in order to reveal both the beneficial and dangerous trends occurring in modern church music. "Open Up The Doors" considers how well modern music is serving the modern church, and also how effectively it is operating as a musical form in the secular culture that surrounds it.Table of ContentsA. Preface 1. Contextualising Congregational Music 2. Nothing New Under The Sun: Learning From History 3. Ending The Corporate Worship Wars 4. Resistance or Accommodation: The 'World' of Quality 5. The Rise and Rise of Pentecostal Music 6. Theomusicological Frameworks for Congregational Song Analysis 7. Congregational Song Gets Personal 8. Conclusion: When The Music Fades 9.

    Book SynopsisDa jährlich 10.000 Tiere auf Tierfriedhöfen beigesetzt werden, schlägt J. Neijenhuis eine entsprechende Liturgie vor, mit denen Geistliche, aber auch Laien, auf Anfrage von trauernden Tierhaltern ein Tierbegräbnis leiten können. Bei diesen Tierbegräbnissen steht die seelsorgerliche Dimension im Vordergrund. W. Jones befasst sich mit der Steigerung der Feierlichkeit fÃ"r Messen. Melismatische Gesänge sollen die Feierlichkeit erhöhen. J. Neijenhuis setzt sich mit Henning TheiÃ�ens Darstellung Gottes Gegenwart wahrnehmen kritisch auseinander, der einen ästhetischen Ansatz verfolgt. I. Scheitler geht Sprach- und Denkformen im Lied â Ein Lämmlein geht und trägt die Schuldâ nach, die den später pietistisch empfundenen Frömmigkeitsausdruck geprägt haben. Chr. Henzel befasst sich mit den Ideen Emil Neumanns zu einer möglichen Praxis des liturgischen Psalmengesangs mit Gemeindebeteiligung. A. Marti arbeitet Qualitätsfragen im Kirchenlied heraus. Er baut dabei auf das im vorliegenden Band veröffentlichte Arbeitspapier der Internationalen Arbeitsgemeinschaft fÃ"r Hymnologie (IAH) zum Thema. Eine Projektskizze zu einer Arbeit Ã"ber das Porstâ sche Gesangbuch ist der erste Beitrag einer Reihe, in der zukÃ"nftig hymnologische Dissertationen in kurzer Form vorgestellt werden sollen, um einen wissenschaftlichen Austausch zu befördern. Literaturberichte zur Liturgik und Hymnologie sowie Strophen- und Personenregister runden das Jahrbuch ab.
