Description
Résumé:Traditional practices of congregational singing have often been brought into question within the contemporary so-called ‘Emerging Church’ movement. Emerging Church groups, through their self-consciously post-modern re-imaginings of Christianity, challenge not only ideas of group singing but also of the congregation itself, intentionally deconstructing the boundaries, patterns, and norms which have typically served to define the congregational group. Nevertheless, music and sound remain important, if contested, components of Emerging Church practices. Patterns of sonic, social, and spiritual resonance established within evangelical or charismatic settings are deconstructed, modified, and reconstructed in a broad variety of ways. This article explores musical dynamics within contemporary Emerging Church communities in the UK, examining how new patterns of resonant interaction are constructed when previous patterns are brought into question. In particular, it is suggested that a variety of practices are used in order to create acts of musicking which offer space for multiplicity and diversity of experience, in a move which shares a range of values with ambient musics.
