{"product_id":"rivers-of-sacred-sound-chant-von-solveig-mcintosh","title":"Rivers of Sacred Sound","description":"Rivers of Sacred Sound traces the flow of influences from East to West, from\nBC to AD and from wordless jubilations to the setting of texts. It takes the\ndiscussion about western chant beyond a European perspective.\nThe text of this book, preceded by an introduction, is presented in seven\nchapters and covers a period of approximately five thousand years. There are\nmany references all over the world to praising the divine with sound. Thus\nthe starting point is the praise song, a fundamental impulse in mankind. The\nRg-Veda requests that our loudest-sounding hymn be accepted, as food most\ndelightful to the Gods. The Psalms request us to make a joyful noise unto God\nand to sing forth the honour of His name. Spontaneous songs became ritual\nevents. In an aural culture what was the role of gesture and what is its role\nnow? There are many doors to open in pursuing these and other questions.\nThis book opens some of them.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781788744393\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781788744393","offer_id":39418565886045,"sku":"9781788744393","price":64.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/2ae9b48b-3235-4e6f-9960-d7733cc37ee9.jpg?v=1780806271","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/rivers-of-sacred-sound-chant-von-solveig-mcintosh","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
