The Singing Thing too: Enabling congregations to sing, John Bell. Wild Goose, 2007, £8.99. In Book 1 of The Singing Thing, John Bell explored the seasons why people sing. in Book 2 his concerns are learning and teaching. How do people pick up new music? How do you encourage a congregation to learn a new song? How can you breathe new life into quality hymnody which has gone stale? With both tact and irreverence, Bell shares insights culled from over 20 years in which he and his colleagues in the Wild Goose Resource and Worship Group have taught new songs in venues as diverse as old people's homes with half a dozen hearing-aid users to Greenbelt Festival with over 10,000 gathered for worship. |
