A sequel to the first Sound in the Land conference and essay collection, <i>Sound in the Lands: Mennonite Music Across Borders</i> re-evaluates the meaning of “Mennonite music” in various contemporary global settings, including work by leading Mennonite writers, composers, and musicians. Representing a broad range of disciplinary approaches and personal perspectives, these essays challenge readers to consider how Mennonite music-making is enriched by an interplay of historical circumstances, varying traditions, and cross-cultural experiences. Like its predecessor in 2004, Sound in the Lands 2009 brought together musicians, academics, writers, and artists for a four-day feast of performances, formal paper presentations, workshops, and poetry readings in a vibrant environment of shared music and dialogue. The essays published here represent a sampling of papers presented at the conference and demonstrate some of the richness of conversation encountered by participants. The book is published by Pandora Press, Kitchener.</div></div></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><div><b>More info: </b></div><div><b>Carol Ann Weaver <a href="mailto:caweaver@uwaterloo.ca">caweaver@uwaterloo.ca</a> </b></div><div><b>519-885-0220</b><b>x24245 or </b><b>x24226 </b></div><div><b><a href="http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/~caweaver/concert.html">http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/~caweaver/event.html</a> </b></div></div></div></body></html>
