Singing the Congregation: How Contemporary Worship Music Forms Evangelical Community de Monique M. Ingalls

Singing the Congregation: How Contemporary Worship Music Forms Evangelical Community

Autor Monique M. Ingalls
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 noi 2018

Publicată sub egida prestigioasei Oxford University Press, volumul Singing the Congregation se prezintă într-un format paperback elegant, tipărit pe o hârtie de calitate superioară, specifică edițiilor academice care invită la studiu aprofundat. Notăm cu interes grija pentru claritatea tipografică, esențială pentru parcurgerea unui text ce îmbină rigoarea sociologică cu analiza muzicologică. Descoperim aici o incursiune fascinantă în modul în care muzica de închinare contemporană (Contemporary Worship Music) încetează să fie un simplu fundal sonor, devenind forța care „performează” și dă viață comunităților evanghelice.

Abordarea autoarei Monique M. Ingalls transformă conceptul tradițional de congregație dintr-o entitate statică, legată de un spațiu fizic, într-o rețea fluidă și contingentă. Găsim în această lucrare o structură analitică ce dezvăluie cinci moduri distincte de adunare, de la formatul de concert și conferință, până la rețelele digitale care transcend granițele locale. Complementar volumului Christian Congregational Music din aceeași perioadă de cercetare, Singing the Congregation oferă o perspectivă mai focalizată pe mecanismele de putere și autoritate religioasă, explorând cum participarea muzicală mediază conflictele de identitate.

În contextul operei sale, această carte rafinează temele explorate în Studying Congregational Music, unde Monique M. Ingalls punea bazele metodologiilor interdisciplinare. Dacă în lucrări precum The Spirit of Praise accentul cădea pe mișcările penticostale globale, aici analiza se concentrează pe micro-sociologia practicii muzicale ca act de constituire socială. Ritmul lecturii este susținut de studiile de caz concrete, oferind o experiență intelectuală densă, dar accesibilă celor interesați de intersecția dintre credință, muzică și sociologie culturală.

Descriere

Contemporary worship music shapes the way evangelical Christians understand worship itself. Author Monique M. Ingalls argues that participatory worship music performances have brought into being new religious social constellations, or "modes of congregating". Through exploration of five of these modes--concert, conference, church, public, and networked congregations--Singing the Congregation reinvigorates the analytic categories of "congregation" and "congregational music." Drawing from theoretical models in ethnomusicology and congregational studies, Singing the Congregation reconceives the congregation as a fluid, contingent social constellation that is actively performed into being through communal practice--in this case, the musically-structured participatory activity known as "worship." "Congregational music-making" is thereby recast as a practice capable of weaving together a religious community both inside and outside local institutional churches. Congregational music-making is not only a means of expressing local concerns and constituting the local religious community; it is also a powerful way to identify with far-flung individuals, institutions, and networks that comprise this global religious community. The interactions among the congregations reveal widespread conflicts over religious authority, carrying far-ranging implications for how evangelicals position themselves relative to other groups in North America and beyond.

Recenzii

Monique Ingalls's Singing the Congregation: How Contemporary Worship Music Forms Evangelical Community is a landmark publication, inviting vitally diverse readings.
This study has wide-ranging implications for how to study religious mobilization and posturing beyond the strict, traditional institutional borders.
In highlighting the role contemporary worship music plays in congregations, she delivers a timely challenge to North American evangelicalism to reflect on its own culture and to assess its effectiveness not solely on the basis of relevance or reach potential, but on how the methods used influence the message—a challenge that can extend beyond music to many other aspects of the church.
This monograph is a highly dense and material-rich examination of what the author defines as 'contemporary worship music', partly following emic language, partly prudently discussing alternative wordings for this vast and transforming field of evangelical Christian music during and beyond religious services.
[T]his sensitive, thorough study offers a much-needed extension of the discourses on congregational Christianity and opens up many opportunities for further discussions of contemporary evangelical congregations.
Ingalls' descriptions of evangelical visual piety with regard to images in worship is fascinating, especially her interviews with the creators of amateur worship videos who explain their motivations and aesthetic values...Ingalls' contribution in this book is a substantive theoretical examination of how congregations, aided by CWM, arise in increasingly diverse spaces.
In the growing field of Contemporary Praise & Worship studies, Monique Ingalls is a trailblazer. Singing the Congregation only makes more firm her scholarly leadership in the field. Read it for either a general introduction to the phenomenon or a detailed path into several of its most illustrative manifestations.
Singing the Congregation is a profoundly theological book. Those working in congregational studies will see 'congregations' as political and digital performances; liturgists will grapple with how liturgical worship can unfold in the public square; ecclesiologists here glimpse into the evolving nature of the 21st-century church; missiologists will debate issues about contextualization and acculturation in light of the commodification of the Christian music and worship industry; and theologians will have opportunity to revisit familiar dogmatic loci - e.g., theological anthropology, soteriology, and even pneumatology - through the lenses of ethnomusicology. All theologically oriented readers, meanwhile, will be given a range of scholarly and analytical perspectives on what many may experience on Sunday mornings, certainly also at their workstations or on their iPods.
Singing the Congregation is the much-anticipated monograph from one of the leading voices in the study of congregational music. Reading Ingalls' book, one understands that congregating, wherever and however it happens, is fundamentally musical and, critically, that music studies has much to say about twenty-first-century evangelical Christianity.
In this finely-wrought ethnomusicology of Christianity, Monique M. Ingalls sensitively captures the voices, intimate and global, that today fill the sacred soundscape of evangelicalism.
In her ground-breaking exploration of music in evangelical worship, Ingalls expands our understanding of contemporary Christian religious expression - a vivid and richly detailed examination of music, community and spiritual experience in the twenty-first century.
From the acknowledgments to references, Singing the Congregation engages a rich network of evangelical worship scholarship. Working with academic researchers, worship leaders, and theological practitioners, Ingalls captures a vibrant array of perspectives on the relationship between North American evangelical congregations and contemporary worship music. This book expands the notion of "contemporary worship music" as a musical genre or Sunday service programming category to illustrate its interconnectedness with multiple, often previously overlooked, modes of congregating.
