This thesis explores how musicality, a defining characteristic of African American preaching, contributes to that tradition's holistic engagement of listeners. The author demonstrates how musicality in homiletical composition and performance expands the cognitive-communicative 'bandwidth' of the preaching event, profoundly affecting a sermon's portability, memorability, and emotional power among listeners. He explores what recent research in the interdisciplinary field of music cognition reveals about how and why musicality has these effects in oral communication. He looks too at ways in which musicality can enhance narrative communication, bear theological and ecclesiological meaning, and foster a sense of shared communal experience among listeners.
