Guy L. Beck has spent over six years in India studying and researching Indian music and religion, receiving support from both Fulbright and aiis (American Institute of Indian Studies) research grants for his work. He holds an MA in musicology and a PhD in religion from Syracuse University, as well as degrees in Indian music from institutions in India. His book Sonic Theology: Hinduism and Sacred Sound (1993) won wide acclaim from scholars for its presentation of the theoretical dimensions of sacred sound and music in Hinduism. He also has published numerous articles on various aspects of Indian religion and music, as well as releasing a CD, Sacred Raga (1999), which demonstrates his performative expertise in Indian vocal music. As a result, he has received invitations from many universities, including Indiana and Princeton, to give lectures and demonstrations. In 2001, he was invited to be a Visiting Fellow by the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies at Oxford University (UK), where he taught courses in Hinduism and music, and received additional support from the Infinity Foundation for research on the contributions of Indic traditions to world music. He has taught courses in religious studies and music at Tulane University, in New Orleans, and is currently teaching at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.
Gerald Hobbs is vice-principal of the Vancouver School of Theology. He holds a BA (Hon.) from the University of Toronto, a BD from Emmanuel College in Toronto, and a Docteur ès Sciences Religieuses degree from the Faculté de Théologie Protestante in Strasbourg. His doctoral work focused on Martin Bucer's German and Latin commentaries on the Psalms, which he is editing and annotating for a critical edition of Bucer's work. Dr. Hobbs has also published extensively in Reformation studies, the history of biblical interpretation (particularly on the Psalms), and the music of the Christian church. Before going to the Vancouver School of Theology, he taught at Huntington College in Sudbury and at the Université de Genève. He served as part-time chaplain with the Canadian Forces in Germany and Italy, and has also taught in Strasbourg, Paris, and Glasgow as a visiting professor.
Joseph A. Levine studied fine arts at the Cooper Union, and earned a BA in religious education at Yeshiva University and a PhD in sacred music at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he taught modal chant. He lectures extensively on the aesthetic dimension of synagogue practice, and his text, Synagogue Song in America (1989), has been recognized as the most important study of Jewish music in the past fifty years. His articles have appeared in The Encyclopedia of Jewish American History and Culture, Gratz College Centennial, Journal of Synagogue Music, Maryland Jewish Historical Society Journal, Midstream, Musica Judaica, and the National Jewish Post. He has also written monographs on the life and times of cantors David Kusevitsky, Josef Rosenblatt, and Abba Yosef Weisgal. An active cantor himself for thirty-five years, he is currently a faculty member at the Academy for Jewish Religion in New York. He serves on the editorial board of the Cantors Assembly, as well as on the Rabbinical Assembly Committee preparing a new High Holiday prayer book for the Conservative movement. His recently published Rise and Be Seated: The Ups and Downs of Jewish Worship (2000) deals with the ongoing creative process involved in the way Jews have approached God in prayer since biblical times.

Pashaura Singh is a professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California, Riverside, where he teaches courses in Sikhism and religion. His dissertation topic (University of Toronto) was The Text and Meaning of the Adi Granth, and his more recent research has focused on the life and teaching of Guru Arjan. He is the author of Guru Granth Sahib: Canon, Meaning and Authority (2001) and The Bhagats of the Guru Granth Sahib: Sikh Sel-Definition and the Bhagat Bani (2003). He also performs Sikh Kirtan and specializes in Gurbani Shabad hymns.

She is currently a faculty member at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. Her recent book, The Sound of the Ancestral Ship: Highland Music of West Java (2001) follows her work as co-editor of Southeast Asia (Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, Vol. 4, 1998).
