Bloomsbury Studies in Black Religion and Cultures

This book fills a gap in religious studies literature by providing a historical study of Black gospel music in Britain. While Black gospel music is a global phenomenon that evolved in many places, including the Caribbean, America and Europe, many still look to America for an understanding of its origin. Dulcie Dixon McKenzie challenges this approach, asserting that there is no universal, 'one-size-fits-all' historical account of Black gospel music. Instead, McKenzie offers an alternative to the American-dominated discourse, presenting Black gospel music as a tradition that was birthed in the churches founded by African Caribbean migrants during the post-war years in Britain. This book is structured around three main themes-context, culture and conservation-and features first-hand accounts from founding members of African Caribbean Pentecostalism, as well as from selected pioneers of singing and music within the various historic congregations. It explores topics such as the arrival and settlement of African Caribbean ancestors in Britain, the exporting of African Caribbean religious beliefs and practices, the growth of African Caribbean Pentecostal churches in Britain, and illustrations of a distinctive African Caribbean Pentecostal style of congregational worship.

Topics in Musical Theatre

Adaptation in Musical Theatre examines adaptation as inherent to musical theatre, an art form with an established history of recycling existing texts, through a concise overview of the concept and several contemporary case studies that illustrate this relationship. 

Adaptations are everywhere in popular culture, wherein most texts have been experienced elsewhere in some form. Adaptation in Musical Theatre focuses on the inherent relationship between adaptation and musical theatre, an art form in which most musicals are adaptations of existing texts. Despite a shift in production model in recent decades, where many musicals are now based on internationally known texts from conglomerates like Disney, adding song and dance to an existing work is a long-established trend has provided a plethora of different structural and stylistic choices across the musical theatre canon. 

Through multiple contemporary case studies, this book examines the various forms of adaptation in musical theatre, with each case study offering a different approach to adapting existing work. From Les Misérables to Wicked, by way of Legally Blonde and Fun Home, this book proposes that despite adaptations often being denigrated by critics as lazy and safe-bet choices for producers, the resulting musicals are incredibly diverse and crafted in a multitude of ways. Adaptations are not bland and unchallenging for audiences, as some detractors have described them, but the lifeblood of musical theatre past and present.

Published in Methuen Drama's Topics in Musical Theatre series, this book offers students a concise and readable study of a key form within musical theatre studies using relevant and contemporary case studies.

Adaptation in Musical Theatre

The State of Afterness studies the histories of contemporary music written in and about Israel since the 1980s. With afterness defined as the state of being unconditioned by territorialism, author Assaf Shelleg shows how composers gradually opted for national diasporism while reacknowledging the need to open up Jewish culture to contemporary aesthetic norms. Looking at operatic, symphonic, chamber, and electronic works, this book narrates the cultural history of an Israeli nation and a Jewish civilization still at odds.

Keep me as the apple of the eye

Musical Dramaturgy in Musical Theatre discusses the form from the perspective of its most common element: the song. Using a historical approach it surveys how the role of music within a musical theatre structure changed over time, which in turn pushed the function of the score to new dramaturgical levels. 

After introducing the central idea of musical dramaturgy as one which has a pivotal effect on how musicals are constructed, it considers the principles of musical comedy throughout history and the interplay between the score and libretto. Using early European musicals as a case study it moves on to look at the integrated shows of Rogers and Hammerstein and other Golden Age composers who reframe the dramaturgical structures through the book. It continues to trace the history of the form through a chapter on Rock and concept musicals before finally considering how the Jukebox musical introduced the concept of non-narrative dramaturgy thanks to popular songs. 
 
The volume critically reflects on the debates on integration and narration in musical theatre and explores new ways of understanding how musical numbers contribute to the impact and appeal of the stage show. Published in the Topics in Musical Theatre series, it unpacks musical theories in an accessible style that doesn't rely on specialised musicological knowledge, making it perfect for students, scholars, musical fans, and musical creatives.

Elements in Religion and Monotheism

What connects the phenomenon of music as an art with the belief in one indivisible God? What has music, a non-linguistic medium, to say about the personal, loving, communicative God of Scripture and the Prophets, or the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, transcendent God of the Philosophers and can it bring these 'concepts of God' together? To answer these questions, this book takes divine Creation as its starting point, that the God of monotheism must be the Creator of all that is. It thus argues that anything which instantiates and facilitates communication within the created realm has been enabled to do so by a God who communicates with His Creation, and who wishes that His Creation be communicative. Indeed, it will argue that the communication allowed by music, and aesthetic experience in general, is the very raison d'être of Abrahamic monotheism and might thus allow an opportunity for dialogue between monotheistic faiths.
