This groundbreaking book delves into the profound role of music in contemporary monasticism, offering a unique ethnographic perspective that amplifies the voices of monks, nuns, friars, and neo-monastics. Authored by an accomplished musician, it addresses the practicalities of monastic music production and performance, providing clear explanations of the musical features and issues at play. Through its comprehensive exploration, the book sheds light on music in neo-monastic communities, highlighting its agency in constructing community identity and addressing the challenges faced by communities when this means of bonding is absent.
One particularly exciting aspect of this work is the author's exploration of how musically gifted monastics navigate the world stage, drawing upon examples such as Sister Jeanne Decker, the original Singing Nun, and Sister Cristina Scuccia, who gained widespread recognition after winning The Voice TV talent program in Italy in 2014. The cross-disciplinary framework of the book appeals to a wide range of audiences, including academics, choir directors, enthusiasts of chants and plainsong, and those interested in the ethnography of unconventional groups.
In conclusion, this groundbreaking book offers a valuable contribution to the study of music and religion, providing a fresh perspective on the agency of music in contemporary monasticism. By amplifying the voices of monastics and exploring the diverse ways in which music shapes their communities, it sheds light on the profound impact of music on human spirituality and social bonds.
