  • 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.

  • Brand and the BBC – the Full Expletive-Riddled Truth
    Brand and the BBC – the full expletive-riddled truth blogs.lse.ac.uk/polis/2008/11/05/brand-and-the-bbc-the-full-expletive-riddled-truth/ 2008-11-5 Was it a storm in a tea-cup or a symbol of a wider malaise at the BBC? Well Polis has got the full, expletive-riddled story from a senior BBC figure. Caroline Thomson is the BBC’s Chief Operating Officer, second only in importance at the corporation to her namesake, Mark. In a speech to Polis she gave a lengthy and carolinethomson.jpg candid narrative of the whole Brand/Ross prank phone call saga. In it she makes a staunch defence of the BBC’s actions and calls on the corporation to continue taking risk. But she recognised in her speech, and the subsequent exchange we had, that it does raise a wider question: Is the BBC too keen to do too much instead of focusing on what it does best. Here is her speech which I think is well worth reading in full – it will also go up on the main Polis website. The BBC: The Challenge to Appeal to All Audiences Caroline Thomson, Chief Operating Officer, BBC POLIS Media Leadership Dialogues London School of Economics, Tuesday 4 November What a week – when I agreed to do this talk I thought I would focus on transforming the BBC – getting it to be a networked organisation, representing the whole of the UK with London as its hub, not its dominant force, with our plans for our new base in the Manchester region as the central theme.
