The Sound of the Dove
Author: Beverly Bush Patterson
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252070037
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
In The Sound of the Dove, Beverly Bush Patterson explores one of the oldest traditions of American religious folksong, a national heritage of great beauty and dignity that remains vital in the lives and worship of predestinarian Primitive Baptists in the southern mountains. This unaccompanied and frequently unharmonized congregational singing challenges our assumptions about creativity, aesthetics, meaning, and identity. Patterson's revealing study incorporates interviews, field observations, historical research, song transcriptions, and musical analysis. She uses seventeenth-century English documents to trace historical antecedents of Primitive Baptist singing and to frame her discussion of religious belief and gender roles as they intersect with singing. One chapter is devoted to the role of women in this church.

It is often said among the Yorubas of Nigeria that "charity begins at home." Dr. Olaiya Aina grew up in a village with his parents and grandparents. His grandmother and his Dad used to tell stories every evening, especially when the moon was bright. The series of children's stories that he grew up with and knows today were mostly told by them. The Boy, the Dove, and the Hawk is the story of a crippled, blind boy named Baoku. One day, he is offered the chance to have his sight restored by a hawk if he gives him the dove to eat. But that same day, the dove offers to give him the power to walk again if he saves his life. Now, Baoku must make the difficult decision of which means more to him-to walk again, or to see again. He asks his friends what he should do, but his friends can't help him make that decision. Will Baoku make the right decision? The Boy, the Dove, and the Hawk is a cautionary tale that will challenge children to rely on their own intelligence, rather than trying to rely on their friends or other people to make life-changing decisions.
