This continues to be a Red Letter Week for Singing Meditation. Our first book reviews are out. The April issue of The Lutheran has a nice review — here is part of it:
“Rosauer and Hill are convinced that everybody can sing, so it’s not necessary to have a small group of professional musicians do it for us. People singing together create soulful bonds with one another and open the doors of their hearts. Singing meditation is a twofold movement: “singing out to the divine mystery and sitting silently to listen for a response.”
The authors explore toning (vocalizing long, sustained sounds), singing (chants, rounds, songs in harmony, and call-and-response songs), the words and silent intervals of two to five minutes. It’s very pleasing to see the respect given silence here. The authors close with suggestions for starting a singing meditation group, leading a session and a selection of songs from a variety of religious traditions.”
