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.

  • 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.
