Reviews

'Inter-disciplinary research projects are difficult to undertake. I want to congratulate the authors in this book for taking up this significant effort of investigating the music making efforts of local Christian communities drawing on methodological parameters both in and beyond their ethnomusicological arena. The resulting effort of crossing boundaries to undertake this work is most admirable and noteworthy.' Lim Swee Hong (æ ç é ), Deer Park Associate Professor of Sacred Music, Emmanuel College, University of Toronto, Canada
