In the mid-18th century, when the frontier between settler and Native communities was a shifting spatial and cultural borderland, sound mattered. People listened carefully to each other and the world around them. In Moravian communities, cultures of hearing and listening encompassed and also superseded musical traditions such as song and hymnody. Complex biophonic, geophonic, and anthrophonic acoustic environments—or soundscapes—characterized daily life in Moravian settlements such as Bethlehem, Nain, Gnadenhütten, and Friedenshütten. Through detailed analyses and historically informed recreations of Moravian communal, environmental, and religious soundscapes and their attendant hymn traditions, \u003ci\u003eMoravian Soundscapes \u003c\/i\u003eexplores how sounds—musical and nonmusical, human and nonhuman—shaped the Moravians' religious culture. Combined with access to an interactive website that immerses the reader in mid-18th century Pennsylvania, and framed with an autobiographical narrative, \u003ci\u003eMoravian Soundscapes \u003c\/i\u003erecovers the roles of sound and music in Moravian communities and provides a road map for similar studies of other places and religious traditions in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout the Companion Website \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote on Naming, Terminology, and Archival Sources \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrologue: The Pennsylvania Wilds \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Sounding New Histories of the Moravian Missions \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeale \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Penn's Woods \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBethlehem \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Friends \u0026amp; Strangers \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHerrnhut \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 Sound \u0026amp; Spirit \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoravian Run \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 1782 \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEpilogue: Petquotting \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlossary: A Moravian Vocabulary \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52525311328536,"sku":"9780253047663","price":55.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/moravian-soundscapes-a-sonic-history-of-the-moravian-missions-in-early-pennsylvania-hardback-9780253047663","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
