Reviews
Lamberts approach is ambitious and thought-provoking, and the examination of one theological concept certainly has potential to yield new insight. * Matthew Laube, Early Music History *
Singing the Resurrection is a generous-spirited book; the author handles the chosen material with respect and sensitivity throughout, in a work of sure-fotted scholarship that enriches our sense of the soundscape of the Reformation and of the audibility of belief. * Michael O'Connor, Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Reforme *
Lambert presents a clear picture of how the Reformation created the opportunity for all churches to re-evaluate what they believed and how they would worship ... Her examples and stories inform the narrative, creating a scholarly informative, and entertaining book. * Nancy Saultz Radloff, Anglican and Episcopal History *
The book does not intend to offer close musical readings of works or sources, but rather to help nonspecialist readers learn how music was integrated with texts, images, beliefs, and the actions of believers across the fragmented religious landscape of the Reformation... Singing the Resurrection: Body, Community, and Belief in Reformation Europe offers a challenge to musicologists and historians: tell the stories of history using all the threads of culture. Integrating music into this story draws the people of the Reformation and their convictions more vividly into our own understanding of their worlds. * Jennifer S. Thomas, Notes, the Journal of the Music Library Association *
