  • Can you recommend some hymnals?

    My career goal is to become a university professor of musicology. I'm working on my Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education (with a minor in Religious Studies). After I get my master's degree in musicology, I'd like to get my doctorate specializing in religious music (from an academic standpoint). In preparation for this, I'd like to start getting a collection of hymnals from different faiths together. Right now, I only have two: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (in English and French) and Pilgrim Hymnal (formerly used by the United Church of Christ in my town).

    Since I'm interested in music of all religions, I was wondering if I could get recommendations of hymnals of the following religions:

    Judaism

    Islam

    Hinduism

    Buddhism

    Shintoism

    Confucianism

    Zoroastrianism

    Taoism

    Any others (I can't think of any more at the moment).

    Recommendation for other Christian hymnals are also welcome, particularly from Catholicism or Orthodoxy.

  • Worship Bible vs. Church Bible?

    One of my co-workers is looking at a copy of the NIV Bible for personal use. On Amazon, she found a "Worship Bible" and a "Church Bible" from the same publisher. If the content is essentially the same, she and I are wondering what the difference between the two is. Is it a physical difference (binding, cover, etc.)?

  • Good colleges/universities for music in Ottawa or Montreal?

    I was talking with one of the chaperons on a marching band trip and I mentioned to her that I'm considering the Crane School of Music in Potsdam, NY. She told me that there's a good music school in Ottawa, relatively near Potsdam. She couldn't remember the name though- can you tell me any good music schools in Ottawa?

    On the same note, if you know any good music schools in Montreal, feel free to speak up.

  • What exactly is the difference between house music and techno?

    I recently started listening to Daft Punk (I've only heard two or three songs so far). Being a jazz fan usually, I was wondering what the specific difference is between house music (which Wikipedia classifies Daft Punk as) and techno (the more generic term I've heard applied to them).

  • Zoroastrianism Books?

    I recently read The Idiot's Guide to Islam, out of curiosity as to what beliefs are shared between Muslims and those of my faith. I am curious as to whether or not there are any published books on Zoroastrianism of the same nature.

    I'm essentially looking for a book I can read that is detailed yet concise-I'm not looking to take a college course on Zoroastrianism but I'd like to learn more about the religion's beliefs.

    (If any Muslims or Zoroastrians read this, I don't mean to be patronizing or rude by using the Idiot's Guide as an example of what I'm looking for...I apologize if I offend :-/ )

  • Redox Reaction Question?

    For a chemistry lab I am doing, one of the questions asks if redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions are exothermic or endothermic. We have not covered this; when asked about it, my teacher said to look it up on the Internet. Can you tell me if redox is exothermic or endothermic? If not, can you tell me where I could find out?
