DESCRIPTION:
Bohlman is Mary Werkman Distinguished Service Professor of Music and the Humanities at the University of Chicago and Honorarprofessor at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover.

Bohlman wrote a deep, scholarly, and extensive introduction covering the core aspects of music within ritual and religious transcendence across various religions, East and West. The specific essays by ten other scholars that follow pale in comparison, largely avoiding the psycho-philosophical matters to instead focus on pragmatic, social and political changes in sacred music brought about by modern cultural pressures and even advances in technology.
