Böcker av Nancy L. Graham

Nancy L. Graham unveils the extraordinary life of the churchman and musician, Erik Routley, the most significant hymnologist of the twentieth century. Using anecdotes from his personal correspondence, the foundations of his faith, scholarship, and pastoral relationships are made public.

Identifying the roots of African American Spirituals and other religious folk music has intrigued academics, hymnologists and song leaders since this genre came to the public eye in 1867. This book examines twentieth-century research, and new material from this century in an attempt to preserve and affirm this musical genre.
