Through a series of ethnographic and historical chapters, author Jeffers Engelhardt focuses on how Orthodox Estonians give voice to the religious absolute in secular society to live Christ-like lives.  Approaching Orthodoxy through local understandings of correct practice and correct belief, Engelhardt shows how religious knowledge, national identity, and social transformation illuminate in the work of singing: how to \"sing the right way\" and thereby realize the fullness of their faith. In some parishes, this meant preserving a local, Protestant-influenced tradition of congregational singing from the 1920s and 30s. In others, it meant adapting Byzantine melodies and vocal styles encountered abroad. In still others, it meant continuing a bilingual, multi-ethnic Estonian-Russian oral tradition despite ecclesiastical and political struggle.  Based on a decade of fieldwork and singing in choirs, Singing the Right Way traces the sounds of Orthodoxy in Estonia through the Russian Empire, interwar national independence, the Soviet-era, and post-Soviet integration into the European Union to describe the dynamics of religion and secularity in singing style and repertoire -- what Engelhardt calls secular enchantment. Ultimately, Singing the Right Way is an innovative model of how the musical poetics of contemporary religious forms are rooted in both sacred tradition and the contingent ways individuals inhabit the secular. This landmark study is sure to be an essential text for scholars studying the ethnomusicology of religion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346465329425,"sku":"CIN0199332134VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0199332134.jpg?v=1776766812"},{"product_id":"resounding-transcendence-book-jeffers-engelhardt-9780199737659","title":"Resounding Transcendence","description":"Resounding Transcendence is a pathbreaking set of ethnographic and historical essays by leading scholars exploring the ways sacred music effects cultural, political, and religious transitions in the contemporary world. With chapters covering Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist practices in East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, North America, the Caribbean, North Africa, and Europe, the volume establishes the theoretical and methodological foundations for music scholarship to engage in current debates about modern religion and secular epistemologies. It also transforms those debates through sophisticated, nuanced treatments of sound and music - ubiquitous elements of ritual and religion often glossed over in other disciplines.  Resounding Transcendence confronts the relationship of sound, divinity, and religious practice in diverse post-secular contexts. By examining the immanence of transcendence in specific social and historical contexts and rethinking the reified nature of \"religion\" and \"world religions,\" these authors examine the dynamics of difference and transition within and between sacred musical practices. The work in this volume transitions between traditional spaces of sacred musical practice and emerging public spaces for popular religious performance; between the transformative experience of ritual and the sacred musical affordances of media technologies; between the charisma of individual performers and the power of the marketplace; and between the making of authenticity and hybridity in religious repertoires and practices. Broad in scope, rich in ethnographic and historical detail, and theoretically ambitious, Resounding Transcendence is an essential contribution to the study of music and religion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50486234480913,"sku":"GOR013813808","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000240832785,"sku":"NIN9780199737659","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656383918353,"sku":"NLS9780199737659","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0199737657.jpg?v=1751323514"},{"product_id":"singing-the-right-way-book-jeffers-engelhardt-9780199332120","title":"Singing the Right Way","description":"Singing the Right Way enters the world of Orthodox Christianity in Estonia to explore the significance of musical style in worship, cultural identity, and social imagination.

How are music and religion entangled in the worlds of practitioners and scholars? What can ethnomusicologists offer to all students of religion by attending to religion's audibility or inaudibility? In this book, author Jeffers Engelhardt engages generations-old interdisciplinary debates to highlight scholars' changing relationships with other-than-human beings in the religious worlds they study.  In the history of ethnomusicology, there is a degree of discomfort with other-than-human agency and theologically grounded methods. However, in recent years, ethnomusicologists have recognized the limits of secular models that favor sonic data over divine knowledge. This moment is marked by a resurgence of sacred musicologies that predate ethnomusicology as a field and by ethnomusicologists' commitments to decolonizing the discipline. The resulting scholarship incorporates both secular, cultural approaches and non-secular, entangled approaches to the study of music and religion. Music and Religion critically examines how scholars navigate these approaches to sound and other-than-human agency. Engelhardt provides ethnographic case studies and surveys key texts from the eighteenth century to the present day to address questions that have occupied scholars for generations. In doing so, he invites readers to embrace new ways of thinking about and listening to the world around them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53179889418513,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53179890008337,"sku":"NGR9780190699147","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780190699147.jpg?v=1777629285"},{"product_id":"music-and-religion-book-jeffers-engelhardt-9780190699154","title":"Music and Religion","description":"Why do we disentangle music and religion?
