Summary

Melodies of Praise: 6 Classic Hymn Books for Congregational Praise is a magnificent compendium, weaving together three centuries of hymnody into a cohesive narrative that celebrates the enduring power of sacred music. The anthology explores timeless themes of faith, reverence, and spiritual introspection, capturing the rich history and evolution of hymnals. Spanning diverse literary styles from the Baroque to Romanticism and into the Pietistic movements, this collection honors the tradition of congregational praise. Within these pages, readers will encounter standout pieces that have shaped the experiences of worship communities, exemplifying both lyrical beauty and theological depth. The esteemed figures of Isaac Watts and Edmund S. Lorenz, whose works anchor this anthology, bring together hymns that are deeply rooted in their respective eras yet transcend the limitations of time and geography. Watts, often called the "Father of English Hymnody," infused his hymns with intellectual vigor and emotional warmth. Lorenz, a pivotal figure in American hymnology, navigated the expanding reach of Protestant hymnody in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The confluence of their contributions enriches the anthology, representing an intersection of historical and cultural dialogues that have shaped religious music traditions. This anthology provides a singular opportunity to immerse oneself in the multifaceted world of hymnology. For scholars, musicians, and worship leaders alike, this collection offers invaluable insights into the spiritual and literary merits of hymns over time. It not only enhances one's appreciation of musical and theological heritage but also fosters an engaging dialogue among the diverse voices included within these pages. Discover a trove of hymnody that instructs, inspires, and unites, serving as a testament to the enduring power of congregational praise.

    Here - Where the Black Designers...

    Designer, activist, and educator Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller is legendary for her  
decades of scholarship and advocacy, and as a touchstone and conscience for the  
design profession. In HERE: Where the Black Designers Are, Holmes-Miller  
documents the history of—and answers to—the question she has been asking for  
decades: “Where are the Black designers?”  
Holmes-Miller explores this essential question through the lens of her own  
development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich  
multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode  
Island School of Design (RISD), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and Pratt  
Institute, leading up to her oft-cited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for  
Black designers. Holmes-Miller describes the work of her eponymous studio for  
noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment  
Television (BET), as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in Print 
magazine and other design publications. Holmes-Miller also recounts the parallel  
history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty  
years to identify and celebrate Black designers. 
HERE is part memoir, part historical investigation, and an urgent call for justice  
and recognition for Black designers. 
“This book is representative of the shoulders on which we, as Black graphic  
designers, stand. These are the legacies we are fighting to uphold and the torches  
we must continue to carry. The journey of the Black designer has not been easy. It  
isn’t easy. And while we may be left out of history books, this is a reminder that we  
are here. Always have been. Always will be.”—Tré Seals, Vocal Type
