The Heart of the Matter
Paul Westermeyer
Paul Westermeyer here puts into print five lectures delivered at a church music conference in 2000. These talks focus on church music and its relation to the assembly of the church, gathered around font, word, and table. Each chapter treats church music in a different way: as praise, as prayer, as proclamation, as story, and as gift of God.
Westermeyer bypasses our preoccupation with the "how" of music and takes us to the "what and why" of it all: the heart of the matter.
Paul Westermeyer is a professor of church music at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota.
