Music as Exegetical Art
Session Description
Does music inform the listeners’ encounter with the text of a hymn, anthem, or solo? John Ferguson will explore the exegetical, interpretive potential of music to inform our understanding of texts we sing or hear. We will consider examples that highlight different dimensions of a text or affect the perceived message of a text. This session will be of interest to those leading or selecting the songs we sing or hear at worship.
