Musical experience intersects with religious experience, posing challenging questions about the ways in which Americans, historical communities and new immigrants, and racial and ethnic groups, construct their sense of self. This book studies the ways in which music shapes the distinctive presence of religion in the United States. The twenty contributors address the fullness of music's presence in American religion and religious history.
