Description:... Music stirs powerful emotions and illumines divine truth, and has been at the heart of Christian worship since biblical times. Now more than ever, congregational song shapes our understanding and experience of God. In his new work. Joyful Noise: A Guide to Music in the Church for Pastors and Musicians, William S. Smith explores the contemporary issues affecting worship music and the roles of clergy and staff in shaping the church's musical experience. Drawing on his deep knowledge of hymnology and current musical styles, Smith invites us to a fresh exploration of the ancient art that brings us closer to God.
