Church Music and Protestantism in Post-Reformation England' breaks new ground in the religious history of Elizabethan England through a closely focused study of the role of music and the Reformation. By reintegrating music back into the study of the Elizabethan church, it provides an enriched understanding of the complex process of the formation of religious identity, and what it actually meant to be Protestant in post-Reformation England.

"This book offers fresh insight into the musical world of Jamaican Pentecostals in all of its complexity. Drawing on deep immersion in both American and Jamaican musical context and performing communities, Melvin Butler explores how Jamaican Pentecostals, both in the United States and back home on the island, use music to express devotion to both faith and nation, and how they seek to reconcile their religious and cultural identities, especially when the latter are closely tied to iconic "secular" musics such as ska, reggae, and dancehall. Butler deploys the concept of flow to evoke both the experience of Spirit-influenced performance and the transmigrations that fuel a controversial sharing of musical and ritual resources between Jamaica and the United States. Seeking to make sense of the ways in which these Pentecostals use music to cross and construct boundaries between local and foreign ways of worshiping God, Goodbye World connects the porous boundaries and vibrant flows of black religious worship in the United States with those found throughout the African diaspora. This book tells a story-or rather, many stories-of how musical and religious flow engenders a sense of belonging among Jamaican people of faith"--

The focus of this Special Issue is language translation in the process of localizing religious musical practice. As an alternative to related concepts (such as contextualization and indigenization), musical localization is presented by ethnomusicologists Monique Ingalls, Muriel Swijghuisen Reigersberg, and Zoe Sherinian in Making Congregational Music Local in Christian Communities Worldwide (Routledge, 2018) as an effective way to account for the complex, diverse, and shifting ways in which religious communities embody what it means to be local through their musical practices: "Musical localization is the process by which Christian communities take a variety of musical practices - some considered 'indigenous, ' some 'foreign, ' some shared across spatial and cultural divides; some linked to past practice, some innovative - and make them locally meaningful and useful in the construction of Christian beliefs, theology, practice, and identity." (13) This Special Issue shows the balance of translation priorities that local congregations can weigh as they work, between externally prescribed guidelines and exclusively local realities; between translations more oriented to the source language and culture, making that reality more plain, or to the recipients, ensuring that the meaning is adequately transferred to a new context; and between even the decision to translate or not, perhaps choosing to sing the songs of another culture and language as they are while risking appropriation.
