Book excerpt: If in the early seventh century travellers had crossed Christendom from Iona in Scotland to Basra on the Persian gulf, they would not have seen organs in churches anywhere. Half a millennium later, they would have come across organs in one area only: the north-west corner of a circle radiating from Rome and stretching as far north as the English Wash. This book unravels the mystery of why organs were first known in places like Winchester, Rheims and Cologne, far from the centres of culture in the eastern mediterranean. This book--part history of music, part detective story--reveals much, not only about the story of how the organ came to be so enthusiastically embraced as 'the king of instruments', in Mozart's phrase, but about the development of Christianity in Europe.

Book excerpt: The organ is the largest instrument with the largest repertory and the greatest influence on Western music's unique evolution. But what is its origin? Who first made it, when, where, how? Why was it introduced in churches? What gradually led to the vast world of organ music? Is the keyboard itself not one of the West's greatest inventions? This newly-revised book by Peter Williams reviews what is known and speculated about this fascinating topic, drawing on a large number of interdisciplinary sources to suggest some answers and underlines the significance (in the words of an early scribe) of the "instrument of instruments."--Publisher description.

Download or read book Musical Instruments of the Bible written by Jeremy Montagu and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2002-10-09 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For everyone who's read the Bible and wondered what David's harp, or Nebuchadnezzar's sackbut and cornett really were, Jeremy Montagu, retired curator of Oxford's Bate Collection of Historical Instruments, has composed an astoundingly thorough investigation and explanation of the musical instruments that pepper the pages of Western Civilization's most holy book. This is a detailed study of all the musical instruments mentioned in the Bible, using the resources of linguistics, organology, and ethnomusicology to identify and describe them. Every reference to an instrument is noted and all the misconceptions of translation are corrected. The Bible, as we know it in English, is a translation, and the history of biblical translations into Aramaic, Greek, Latin and other languages is one of guesswork. The substitution of the musical instruments from the translator's era for those of the original author is as common as it is overlooked. Jubal did not have an organ, nor David a harp. This book uses all the resources available to establish what each instrument really was, what it looked like, and how it was played and is arranged in the same order as the King James Bible, with explanation where this differs from other versions in English. As well as a full bibliography, there are three indexes. The first is of Biblical Citations so that readers may check every mention in the Bible from its chapter and verse. The second is a quadrilingual parallel citation in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English, so that each reference can be crosschecked. The third is a general index. The four biblical languages, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Latin, are used to the full, and the original texts are cited frequently. There are 18 illustrations, some of which are archeological remains, some ethnographic parallels, and one is of the sole biblical instrument still in regular use: the ram's horn which brought down the walls of Jericho. Musical Instruments of the Bible is perfect for university theology and comparative religion depa
