Abstract
Among its many benefits, community singing provides opportunities to be with people of like minds and heritages. We sing in groups, partly to announce or affirm our places in the world, to resist societal pressure, or to remember and transmit our cultural heritages. Each chapter in this section focuses on demonstration of identity, but in addition, each shows how ideals are announced, upheld, and acted out in singing groups. Community singing therefore can reinforce our desire to be our best selves as individuals and in our relationships with others. This cultural work is crucial as societies strive to combat divisiveness.
