Download or read book Victorian Cathedral Music in Theory and Practice written by William J. Gatens and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1986-11-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a critical assessment of Victorian cathedral music, unique in its detailed treatment of the cultural intellectual, philosophical and religious issues that shaped the composer's creative world and so influenced compositional practice. Among the issues investigated by William Gatens are the status of music in Church and society, the Victorians' views on the moral dimension of music, the aesthetic implications of Christian orthodoxy and notions of stylistic propriety. The careers and works of seven eminent composers - Thomas Attwood, T. A. Walmisley, John Goss, S. S. Wesley, F. A. G. Ouseley, John Stainer and Joseph Barnby - are discussed in some detail with emphasis on anthems and fully composed service settings. These provide specific illustrations of stylistic trends and the practical effects of theoretical principles. The study seeks to correct some of the misunderstandings and distortions that were common among earlier twentieth-century writers on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking seriously the practice and not just the theory of music, this ground-breaking collection of essays establishes a new standard for the interdisciplinary conversation between theology, musicology, and liturgical studies. The public making of music in our society happens more often in the context of chapels, churches, and cathedrals than anywhere else. The command to sing and make music to God makes music an essential part of the DNA of Christian worship. The book’s three main parts address questions about the history, the performative contexts, and the nature of music. Its opening four chapters traces how accounts of music and its relation to God, the cosmos, and the human person have changed dramatically through Western history, from the patristic period through medieval, Reformation and modern times. A second section examines the role of music in worship, and asks what—if anything—makes a piece of music suitable for religious use. The final part of the book shows how the serious discussion of music opens onto considerations of time, tradition, ontology, anthropology, providence, and the nature of God. A pioneering set of explorations by a distinguished group of international scholars, this book will be of interest to anyone interested in Christianity’s long relationship with music, including those working in the fields of theology, musicology, and liturgical studies.

Download or read book The Contribution of Cambridge Ecclesiologists to the Revival of Anglican Choral Worship 1839 62 written by Dale Adelmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this book asks how an ecclesiastical climate was created in which Anglican choral worship could flourish in the mid-nineteenth century. Dale Adelmann draws on a wide range of sources, including diaries, correspondence, pamphlets, newspapers and critical writings, to answer this question. His research reveals the hitherto unrecognized extent of the influence of the Cambridge Camden Society (1839-62) in the revival of Anglican choral worship, in particular through the auspices of its periodical The Ecclesiologist, but also through the dedicated efforts of the remarkable individuals who promoted the Society’s aims in their writings, lectures, and in their own parish churches. The study examines the arguments that were framed in defence of choral worship and the often heated debates they initiated between both individuals and institutions. In so doing, it provides a re-evaluation of the place of Anglican choral worship in mid-nineteenth-century musicological and ecclesiastical history, and demonstrates the role of Cambridge ecclesiologists as primary force behind its rival.

Download or read book Protestant Church Music written by Friedrich Blume and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive and definitive study of Protestant church music has been awaited for almost three decades, since Friedrich Blume wrote a short, initial exploration of the subject. This greatly expanded version, newly translated from the German, serves to trace the historical developments of the music in the various Protestant services from both the musical and theological points of view. In addition, the author examines that large body of religious music which does not properly appertain to any specific liturgy, but does belong in a study of this dimension. The author has enlisted the aid of specialists in several fields to provide the expertise necessary to encompass so vast a subject. Dr. Ludwig Finscher revised the chapter on the Reformation and brought it up to date, while the author himself extended the chapter on Confessionalism which follows. Dr. Georg Feder, head of the Haydn Institute in Cologne, has written on the developments in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and the late professor Adam Adrio of Berlin concerned himself with the twentieth. Dr. Walter Blankenburg has provided fascinating information on the Bohemian Brethren as well as other interesting denominations in the Reformed areas of Europe. For this English-language edition, new chapters were specially written by Torben Schousboe on Scandinavian music, by Robert Stevenson on Protestant music in America, and by Watkins Shaw on church music in England from the Reformation to the present day. With these additions, the present volume becomes the definitive reference work on Protestant church music.

Download or read book Luther s Liturgical Music written by Robin A. Leaver and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Luther's relationship to music has been largely downplayed, yet music played a vital role in Luther's life -- and he in turn had a deep and lasting effect on Christian hymnody. In Luther's Liturgical Music Robin Leaver comprehensively explores these connections. Replete with tables, figures, and musical examples, this volume is the most extensive study on Luther and music ever published. Leaver's work makes a formidable contribution to Reformation studies, but worship leaders, musicians, and others will also find it an invaluable, very readable resource.
