The volume you are holding is a vivid testimony …to the value of examining this variety and dynamism from multiple, overlapping points of view …to the value of both realist and idealist voices …to the value of articulating wisdom. From the foreword by John D. Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship Since the publication of the first volume of Readings in African American Church Music and Worship, public and academic interest in the music and worship in black churches has significantly increased. This second volume makes available the most recent scholarship on twenty-first-century developments and trends, through a representative number of articles, essays, and chapters written by brilliant musicians, authors, and theologians of our time. The list of contributors includes some of the finest emerging scholars, whose voices we will be hearing for years to come, as well as offerings from seasoned authors, whose research and writings are well regarded by peers and the worshiping community at large. The significant contributions—from names new and familiar—greatly broaden the field of study. The 43 chapters of this volume are divided into 7 categories: Worship and Liturgical Practices Perspectives on Praise and Worship Liturgical Theologies Hip Hop and/in the Church Proclamation of the Word Perspectives on Women and Gender Hymnody: Sound and Sense Insightful, thought-provoking, challenging, hopeful—this volume will be a source of knowledge, a stimulus for discussion, and a call to (re)consider the many and varied viewpoints of the African American church.

Pastor al music makers have talents that translate across denominations, and every now and then a musician might find him- or herself playing in unfamiliar territory (different order of service, different rituals, different traditions, different musical styles, etc.). The question of how to adapt to another pattern of worship may arise, creating a great deal of confusion or stress for the musician. A Primer for the Visiting Organist, edited by Fred Moleck, provides a comprehensive answer for anyone in this situation. This book includes insightful chapters by some of the foremost experts on music in worship that describe, in detail, what the visiting organist can expect when playing for one of the following eight religious traditions: African American Protestant: Dr. James Abbington Baptist: Dr. David Music Episcopalian: Dr. Carol Doran Reform Jewish: Mr. Scott Kumer Lutheran: Dr. Paul Westermeyer Presbyterian: Mr. David Eicher Roman Catholic: Mr. Robert Batastini & Dr. Fred Moleck United Methodist: Dr. Don Saliers A Primer for the Visiting Organist covers everything from the order of service to the question of receiving communion. There is a wealth of information here—no organist should travel without it.

Once again, Dr. James Abbington has combed the extensive resource that is the African American Heritage Hymnal and uncovered yet another forty-six hidden treasures. Again, using the talented voices of the Morgan State University, he has produced this stirringly inspirational and joyous recording for your listening pleasure. The first recording, 49 Hidden Treasures, was extremely successful and heartily welcomed. With the success of that first recording it became apparent that a second volume would need to be produced. It is our hope that 46 More Hidden Treasures becomes as valued a resource as its predecessor!
