The focus here is on how the different spiritual sectors influenced each other through music: chapters provide plenty of footnoted references suitable for college-level research into source material but provide lively coverage of early immigrant musical experiences, different eras of church activities, and more. A fine 'foundation pick' for any collection strong in church history and culture. |
