Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: The celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation brings with it an increased interest in all things Lutheran. Certainly one area of well-deserved attention is the rich tradition of a vibrant musical life in Lutheran congregations. This heritage--which continues to be lovingly passed from generation to generation--is due, in part, to the value Dr. Luther himself placed on music in worship. Because the organ and the choir continue to play a significant role in the ministry of most Lutheran churches today, it would be easy to assume that this has always been the case. Not necessarily so. Both essays, in a lucid and thorough manner, paint the picture of the role of the organ and the choir in early Lutheran worship, thus dispelling a number of myths and assumptions that things "have always been this way" and offering some useful reflections on what this all means for the faithful practice of church music in our own time.; Daniel Zager is Associate Dean of Sibley Music Library, Associate Professor of Musicology, and Affiliate Faculty for Organ and Historical Keyboards at the Eastman School of Music. Steven Wente is Distinguished Professor of Music at Concordia University Chicago where he teaches applied organ, music history and church music, and serves as department chair and coordinator for the graduate music programs.; Google Preview content
