Experiencing Music—Restoring the Spiritual: Music as Well-being

Abstract

In her most recent book, Experiencing Music—Restoring the Spiritual, the Rev. June BoyceTillman MBE draws on a lifetime of musical experience as a performer, educator and composer of sacred works, and explores the transformative power of music to rebuild individuals, relationships and community that she has experienced and observed. She balances the liminality of ethnographic research by frequent recourse to an extraordinary breadth of scholarship from disciplines such as theology, musicology, philosophy, education and anthropology to construct a framework for her arguments.
