Moravian SoundscapesA Sonic History of the Moravian Missions in Early Pennsylvania\nAuthor(s): Sarah Justina Eyerly\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Indiana University Press, United States\nImprint: Indiana University Press\nISBN-13: 9780253047663, 978-0253047663\nSynopsis\nIn Moravian Soundscapes, Sarah Eyerly contends that the study of sound is integral to understanding the interactions between German Moravian missionaries and Native communities in early Pennsylvania. In the mid-18th century, when the frontier between settler and Native communities was a shifting spatial and cultural borderland, sound mattered. People listened carefully to each other and the world around them. In Moravian communities, cultures of hearing and listening encompassed and also superseded musical traditions such as song and hymnody. Complex biophonic, geophonic, and anthrophonic acoustic environmentsor soundscapescharacterized daily life in Moravian settlements such as Bethlehem, Nain, Gnadenhtten, and Frie.
