  • A Survey of Christian Cross-Over Songwriting Core Principles and Potential for Impact
    CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 1 A Survey of Christian Cross-Over Songwriting Core Principles and Potential for Impact Paul Malhotra A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2013 CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ John D. Kinchen III, D.M.A. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Michael Babcock, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Mr. Don Marsh, M.S. Committee Member ______________________________ Marilyn Gadomski, Ph.D. Assistant Honors Director ______________________________ Date CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 3 Abstract A cross-over song has been defined as a song written by a Christian artist aimed at a mainstream audience. An understanding of the core principles of cross-over songs and their relevance in contemporary culture is essential for Christian songwriters. Six albums marked by spiritual overtones or undertones, representing a broad spectrum of contemporary cross-over music, were examined. Selected songs were critiqued by analyzing the album of origin, lyrical content, author’s expressed worldview, and level of commercial success. Renaissance art also provided a historical parallel to modern day songwriting. Recommendations were developed for Christian songwriters to craft songs with greater effectiveness to impact the culture while adhering to a biblical worldview. CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 4 A Survey of Christian Cross-Over Songwriting An exploration of Christian cross-over music can provide an objective framework for evaluating songs and developing guidelines for Christian songwriters so they can enhance their effectiveness in communicating with their audiences.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan
    Pace University DigitalCommons@Pace Honors College Theses Pforzheimer Honors College 8-21-2019 An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses Part of the Music Business Commons An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts By Megan Marie Carlan Arts and Entertainment Management Dr. Theresa Lant Lubin School of Business August 21, 2019 Abstract Ranging from inspirational songs void of theological language to worship music imbued with overt religious messages, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) has a long history of being ill-defined. Due to the genre’s flexible nature, many Christian artists over the years have used vague imagery and secular lyrical content to find favor among mainstream outlets. This study examined the most recent ten-year period of CCM to determine its ability to cross over into the mainstream music scene, while also assessing the impact of its lyrical content and genre on the probability of reaching such mainstream success. For the years 2008-2018, Billboard data were collected for every Christian song on the Hot 100, Hot Rock Songs, or Hot Country Songs in order to detect any noticeable trend regarding the rise or fall of CCM; each song then was coded for theological language. No obvious trend emerged regarding the mainstream success of CCM as a whole, but the genre of Rock was found to possess the greatest degree of mainstream success. Rock also, however, was shown to have a very low tolerance for theological language, contrasted with the high tolerance of Country.

  • SWITCHFOOT Geben Einziges Konzert in Deutschland
    PRESSEMITTEILUNG NATIVE TONGUE – SWITCHFOOT geben einziges Konzert in DeutschlAnd SWITCHFOOT stehen auf viele Styles zwischen Post-Grunge und Pop-Rock, zudem gern auf Surfbrettern und seit 20 Jahren für erfolgreichen Alternative Sound in den USA. Die Brüder Jon (Git/Voc) und Tim Foreman (b) gründeten die Band mit Chad Butler (dr) 1996 in San Diego und mischen seither Alternative-, Indie- und Pop-Rock mit einer Prise Hang-Loose-Romantik. Damit traten SWITCHFOOT (übrigens eine Fußhaltung auf dem Surfboard) nach zehn Alben eine Erfolgswelle los, die im Rahmen ihrer Native Tongue-Tour nun auch auf Europa zurollt. Rückblick: 2017 legten Switchfoot eine lang verdiente, dringend benötigte Pause ein, um sich mit essenziellen Fragen über die Band und sich selbst zu beschäftigen. Jetzt sind sie zurück und präsentieren ihre Antworten auf ihrem neuen Album NATIVE TONGUE. "Es gab kein "sollte" oder "sollte nicht". Es war eine schöne Freiheit. Songs, die wir geschrieben haben, mussten sich nicht in etwas verwandeln, solange wir der Freude nachgingen. Dort wurde diese Platte geboren." Switchfoots Sänger, Jon Foreman. NATIVE TONGUE ist die 11. Schallplatte seit des Debüts von 1997, THE LEGEND OF CHIN, mit der SWITCHFOOT auf einem Weg der Kritik und der Anerkennung durch die Fans begann. In ihrer umfassenden Diskographie finden sich zudem der Multi- Platin-Durchbruch von 2003 mit THE BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN, der Blockbuster- Titelsong für „Die Chroniken von Narnia: Prince Kaspian“, ein Grammy Award für „Hello Hurricane“ als bestes Rockalbum 2009 und eine Vielzahl an rotierenden US-Radio- Hits. Ob Musikbusiness oder Wax-Board – wer die große Welle reitet, darf nicht abheben. Die sympathischen Jungs von SWITCHFOOT sind immer Dude und Mensch geblieben.

  • Hello Hurricane: an Exegesis on John 14:1-14 Connor Perry
    Hello Hurricane: An Exegesis on John 14:1-14 Connor Perry This paper seeks to interpret the Gospel of John in light of new innovations: utilizing the prologue to interpret the body of the gospel, seeking a theological background for Jesus’ ἐγώ εἰμί statements, and viewing Jesus’ farewell discourses in light of liberation theology. John 14:1-14 challenges us to look beyond our present circumstances to the God that does not change, by presenting a discourse on the unity of the Triune God who is incarnate in Jesus Christ. By seeking to ground this passage in its literary context, the signifcance of the tribulation that Jesus and his disciples are currently experiencing clearly becomes the primary lens that proper interpretation and application of John 14:1-14 must proceed through. I’ve been watching the skies; they’ve been turning blood red Not a doubt in my mind anymore there’s a storm up ahead Hello Hurricane, you’re not enough Hello Hurricane, you can’t silence my love.
