Publisher's Synopsis
The contributors examine the commemorations of baptism, the musical setting of the Prussian book of liturgies of 1823/24, the newest liturgy for the blessing of homosexual couples, the performance of singing in church services, the influence of Anglican evensong on Dutch hymn history and a possible correlation between the musical rehabilitation of Romanticism and a theological rehabilitation of religion. Extensive bibliographies in liturgy and hymnology complete the volume.
