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.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter deals with the topics of background of study, statement of problems, purpose of study, scope and limitation, significance of study, and definition of key terms. 1.1. Background of Study Language as a tool of communication is really important in human life; it has strong influence to the society relationship. Anggraini and Sudiran (2014:2), people use language to have relationship in the society; without language, people cannot interact and communicate to other. Language provides arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, or written symbols which have the same roles to express human’s feelings, emotions and ideas. Therefore, literature that provides pleasure cannot be separated from language. Literature is basically divided into some types or genres. Turco (1999:9- 10) points out the types that are also called as genres that can be found in literature: Fiction, drama, poetry, and nonfiction. Each category consists of subgenres, such as novel, novella, novelette (long story), short story, short - short story (very short story), episode (one incident or even; in a longer work of fiction), and anecdote (a short account often of humorous interest) that belong to fiction; the tragedy, comedy, tragicomedy, and skit (a short dramatic presentation of a humorous or satiric turn) that belong to drama; the autobiography, biography, essay and discourse that belong to nonfiction; lyric, verse narrative, and verse drama that belong to poetry. 1 In making a literary work, the creative writers are not primarily concerning with the actual truth of particular events but also their imagination. Afterward, literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material into more technical works.

  • Living Memo Ries
    Living Memories Reflections of Students Volunteering in VA Hospitals Federated Wholesale, Inc. Living Memories Reflections of Students Volunteering in VA Hospitals Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service Office and United Students for Veterans’ Health i ii Foreword The evolution of health care and the expanding VA health care system have provided increased opportunities for American citizens looking for ways to serve veterans by sharing their knowledge, skills and creative talents. The Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service Program (VAVS) provides a valuable resource for dedicated volunteers interested in help- ing others. The VAVS Program has attracted a growing corps of dedicated volunteers with an increased capacity to meet the changing needs of veterans. Established in 1946 with eight charter members, the VAVS Program today is comprised of 61 national veterans, civic and service organizations. As the largest volunteer program in the Federal government, the VAVS Program is sustained by the commitment, energy and enthusiasm of a diverse group of volunteers. These volunteers serve in VA health care facilities, home-based programs, nursing homes, veteran outreach centers and in VA national cemeteries. Collectively, these dedicated volunteers have contributed more than 521 million hours of volunteer service since the program's inception. The numbers only tell part of the story. The level of caring and unshakable devotion to helping others that is demonstrated daily by VAVS volunteers is immeasurable. Without their assistance, the quality of services and programs designed to enhance patient care would be greatly compromised. We are particularly interested in increasing volunteer participation by young adults throughout the country. VAVS has great opportunities to offer the leaders of tomorrow not only through the experiences of the actual volunteer activity, but also through the development of relationships with a group of very special people, our nation's heroes.

    The West Wing Weekly 2.07: The Portland Trip Guests: Secretary of the Army Eric Fanning, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA), and Former Congressman Steve Gunderson (R-WI) [Intro Music] HRISHI: You’re listening to The West Wing Weekly, my name is Hrishikesh Hirway. JOSH: And my name is Joshua Malina. HRISHI: Today, we’re talking about Episode 7 of Season 2. It’s called “The Portland Trip.” JOSH: It first aired on November 15th, 2000. The teleplay is by Aaron Sorkin, the story by Paul Redford, the direction by Paris Barclay. Paris is a very, very talented guy who also directed the “I See You” episode from Scandal Season 5. HRISHI: He won a DGA award for directing for this episode. JOSH: Nice. HRISHI: Here’s the synopsis from TV Guide: “The President is taking a red-eye to Portland, Oregon, to deliver an education address, and Sam must go with him because he can't get the speech right. Toby must also go, to help Sam, and C.J. has to go, too, because she's being punished for making disparaging remarks about the President's alma mater, Notre Dame. Back at the White House, Josh spars with a gay Republican congressman over a bill on homosexual marriage, and Leo monitors a minor crisis in the Persian Gulf involving an oil tanker.” JOSH: I like the phrase, “The President is taking a red-eye,” as if he’s flying commercial.
