Mark Porter

Recenzje

This book confirms Mark Porter's place as a leading thinker and theorist in the field of congregational music...Porter's work deserves to be taken seriously not only by students of congregational music, but also more widely by musicologists and scholars of the study of religion; if they do so, they will find much here that may persuade them to afford more attention to the vibrant, diverse and ever-changing world of congregational music than has previously been the case.
