| Summary: | As a means of world relation and interaction, music can be a powerful medium for situating human beings in relation to other entities and spaces by which they are surrounded. While Christian musical practices often focus most strongly on human–divine relationships, a recent turn to concepts of resonance suggests the potential to consider a wider range of interactions and aspirations. I propose that attentiveness to dimensions of resonance might prove productive in connection with contemporary experiences of ecological crisis and I suggest that rethinking our patterns of resonant interaction may be an important part of our response to these challenges. |
