Congregational Music, Conflict and Community
Congregational Music, Conflict and Community is the first study of the music of the contemporary 'worship wars' – conflicts over church music that continue to animate and divide Protestants today – to be based on long-term in-person observation and interviews. It tells the story of the musical lives of three Canadian Mennonite congregations, who sang together despite their musical differences at the height of these debates in the late 1990s and e…
Music, Convert, and Subject in the North Sumatran Mission Field
This case study on the Toba Batak of Northern Sumatra focuses on a model 19th-century German missionary, whose success in the almost complete conversion of the Toba was predicated on a politics of selective tolerance, in which certain local codes and practices were encouraged, while others were identified for replacement with Christian practices and emblems. Through a discussion of the musical tensions involved in this process of selective exchan…
Songs of Oru Olai and the Praxis of Alternative Dalit Christian Modernities in India
This chapter addresses an alternative Dalit Christian modernity transmitted and practiced through song and drumming in Tamil Nadu, India. Using two examples of the praxis of sharing , I analyze expressions of agency by the caste and gender oppressed that shows an awareness of discourses of liberation in both the bible and the modern world outside the caste-inflected village. Daily practice of economic sustainability through community finds its mu…
Parading Protestantisms and the Flute Bands of Postconflict Northern Ireland
This chapter examines the Protestant parading tradition in Northern Ireland with particular focus on the dominance of the flute band scene within it. It provides an in-depth discussion into the central characteristics of each flute band type, namely, blood and thunder, melody and part-music, through an ethnographic analysis of five flute bands. The social, political and religious orientations of each band are examined, as well as their choices in…
Music as Shared Space in Mennonite Development Work in Chad
This chapter highlights negotiations of meanings a Western church worker encountered in a Chadian congregation. For many mainline churches, “missions agencies,” focused on proselytization, are not the sole or even primary mode of outreach; “development agencies,” focused on local economic and social development, complement them. These two types of agencies are tied, through institutional memories in Western and African churches, to the cultural, …
Coexistence of Causal and Cultural Expressions of Musical Values among the Sabaot of Kenya
Through the experience of the Sabaot of western Kenya, this chapter highlights the complex dialectic that engages both missionaries and the missionized in ongoing cultural exchange. While early missionaries may have introduced Western hymnody (which did not follow the tonal contours of the Sabaot language), many current musical projects are directed toward the search for a “traditional mix” that assigns Christian lyrics and meanings to songs in a…
Chant as the Articulation of Christian Aramean Spirithood
For Urfalli Suryanis, an ethno-religious migrant community from Turkish Urfa/Edessa, chant is of paramount importance. Using Syriac, the fugitive Christians who escaped post-WWI persecution continue to practise this ancient oral musical tradition in their new home in Syria. This minority group has a communally agreed conception of identity that should be understood in its proper set of terms. Their conception of Suryaniness may best be seen throu…
Palestinian Christmas Songs for Peace and Justice in Sacred Place and Politicized Space
This chapter describes ways Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem use Christmas music to highlight the contrast between the former peaceful “little town” in the carol and the current situation of its population under Israeli occupation. An annual Christmas event is staged as a protest, but promotes nonviolent resistance to occupying forces. Organizers provide an opportunity for the expression of shared feelings of belonging and loss among local Pal…
Performing Pannkotis Identity in Haiti
This chapter focuses on transnational networks of Pentecostal practice. It explores the use of “Pannkotis” to identify musical practice among a variety of Haitian churches, including some tied historically to Protestant and Pentecostal organizations in the United States. It also discusses the author’s roles as a Western ethnomusicologist and a Pentecostal believer, reflecting on the power shifts in transnational engagement that shared faith can e…
The Oxford Handbook of Music and World Christianities
The Oxford Handbook of Music and World Christianities investigates the role of music in Christian practice and history across contemporary world Christianities (including chapters focused on communities in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia). Using ethnography, history, and musical analysis, it explores Christian groups as sites of transmission, transformation, and creation of deeply diverse musical traditions. The book traces five…
Binding and Loosing in Song
T article presents a paired ethnographic case study on Canadian Mennonite musical practice and a set of theoretical reflections on the question: what do we, as ethnomusicologists, really mean by the words “conflict” and “identity”? What do these terms enable us to say about music in society? What do they occlude? I will argue that there are important continuities between our constructions of conflict and identity, while highlighting rhetorical pr…
