Contributors trace Jewish music from its place in Hebrew Scriptures through the nineteenth-century Reform movement. Similar accounts of Christian music describe its growth up to the Protestant Reformation, as well as post-Reformation development. Other essays explore liturgical music in contemporary North America by analyzing it against the backdrop of the continuous social change that characterizes our era. Author Biography Lawrence A.

Review "Liturgical musicians should consider adding [Sacred Sound and Social Change] to their libraries. Each critical aspect of music is considered. As society continues to change and social pressures intensify, music will continue to play its critical role. This book gives us a chance to reflect upon where weve been, where we are, and where we may be going." —Modern Liturgy * Modern Liturgy *"Following two excellent collections examining the development of Judaism and Christianity, this third volume in this series traces the usages of music in the two faiths, from biblical origins and medieval developments to current practices, while analyzing the varieties of music within each tradition." —Journal of Ecumenical Studies"The editors sought to bring diverse voices to the discussion. Their treatment of Jewish and Christian traditions within the same volume is significant; since both musical traditions stem from common sources and deal with similar social forces today, common reflection can lead to greater insight." —Theological Studies"This book reveals profound thought about the function of music in liturgy. All church and synagogue musicians should read it." —Choice Review Quote "Liturgical musicians should consider adding [ Sacred Sound and Social Change ] to their libraries. Each critical aspect of music is considered. As society continues to change and social pressures intensify, music will continue to play its critical role.
