Event overview
The Music of UK Black Pentecostal Churches
Black Pentecostal churches are known for their production of high-quality, up-tempo music, as demonstrated by the Kingdom Choir at the royal wedding of Harry and Megan. However, there is a paucity of systematic analysis of music in these UK environments. Using Jean-Jacques Nattiez's model of musical discourse, this presentation will explore some of the commonalities, complexities and contradictions inherent to this musical practice.
Dr Muir is a Lecturer at the Institute for Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship here at Goldsmiths.
The Music Research Series invites researchers from across the country, and from within the department, to present and discuss their work.
The Series is a space for the development of cutting-edge research in music, and for the training of postgraduate and Early Career Researchers from Goldsmiths and elsewhere.
The sessions bring together scholars, practitioners, and people working in music outside the university. They may include formal papers, panel discussions, conversations, or any other format that suits the research.
Attendance is strongly recommended for all postgraduate students (MA, MMus and PGR) in Music. Undergraduates, researchers and visitors from across the college and the community are also most welcome to these public lectures.
The series co-ordinators are Maria Perevedentseva, Alastair White and Tom Perchard. For more information, email: t.perchard@gold.ac.uk.
