Ramnarine, Professor of Music, Royal Holloway University of London The book is handsomely produced in all respects, filling a gap with enthusiasm about its subject. Musical Times Engelhardt has studied Estonian Orthodox singing with the utmost care and dedication, including, significantly, the lived faith of Orthodox believers the everyday rituals that Orthodox Christians in Estonia practice. Magically, Engelhardt's work makes the transformations of congregations and singing in the Orthodox Church of Estonia visible and audible to readers, opening up the different worlds and ideologies of a small community under a microscope's lens.
