New Edited Volume on Multilingualism in Religious Musical Practice
Jeremy Perigo
Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to share information about a brand-new edited volume related to our fields of study, featuring the work of several scholars affiliated with this group.
Perigo, Jeremy, and John MacInnis, eds. Multilingualism in Religious Musical Practice. Basel, Switzerland: MDPI, 2026.
See https://www.mdpi.com/books/reprint/12859-multilingualism-in-religious-musical-practice
This work explores the dynamics of multilingualism in Christian worship, a phenomenon with a historic and global reach, with particular connections to missionization and migration. Within such a complex and expansive phenomenon, the contributors focused on multilingualism in religious music, drawing from theological ethicist and ethnomusicologist Nathan Myrick’s concept of “musical caring.”
The print version is at a normal academic price, but we are thankful that the publisher has also made the e-book free to download.
Gathering these scholars and helping see their work published has been an absolute joy and honor.
I hope you have a great summer!
Jeremy
