"This book constitutes the author's effort to provide a biblical foundation for answers to questions regarding congregational singing. The present work is broader in scope than the author's smaller book, Volumes of Praise for a Vanishing God, and unlike the earlier volume, contains full documentation and end-notes, many of which pursue topics of interest that are mentioned only briefly in the text proper. Each chapter of this book ends with a brief list of questions to spur further study and discussion. It is hoped that this book may be useful as a text for a seminary course on congregational singing, a course that the author believes to be great need for the church of the twenty-first century. Special attention is given to the issues raised in the "music wars" of the past fifty years."
In this booklet, Darryl Tippens issues a rousing call to renew our great heritage of congregational singing. First, he recalls some of the main reasons why singing is central in the life of the church. And second, he offers specific suggestions for preserving and renewing the practice of congregational singing today.
In this concise and practical guidebook, Sherman offers tips and techniques for leading more effective congregational singing. Drawing on his extensive experience as a choir director and organist, he covers everything from selecting appropriate hymns to building a strong sense of rhythm and harmony. With clear instructions and helpful diagrams, this book is an invaluable resource for music directors and anyone else looking to improve the quality of their church's worship services.
