Alleluia! A new work is come on hand

Catholicism as Musical Discourse reveals the important role that French-language sacred songs, written primarily for women, played in the evolution of the Catholic Reform over the long seventeenth century. By singing sacred songs--called cantiques, spiritual or devotional airs--reformers believed that principles of Catholicism would be easier to learn, remember, and affect women's behavior. This book shows that various interpretations of Catholicism were not only transformed over time but also how and why. Most importantly, it demonstrates that sacred songs became a part of the Catholic Church's effort to mediate and shape the role of women in French society.

Catholicism as Musical Discourse reveals the important role that French-language sacred songs, written primarily for women, played in the evolution of the Catholic Reform over the long seventeenth century. Thought to be one of the best ways to facilitate a deeper spiritual experience and alter behavior, sacred songs became a part of the Catholic Church's effort to mediate and shape the role of women in French society. Whether contrafacta of secular songs or newly composed texts and music, sacred songs (cantiques, airs spirituel, or airs de dévotion) were non-liturgical and written primarily by clergymen. The songs gave voice to various, even contradictory, interpretations of Catholicism. Some texts were educational, some expressed a female religiosity focusing on love for Jesus and God, and some communicated Jansenist notions regarding sin and penitence. The intended public--women--determined the repertory's discursive properties: the messages communicated, language used, prescribed function(s), and musical features. 

Through an analysis of the musical repertory over time, Catholicism as Musical Discourse demonstrates how transformations within the church were linked to religious, political, and social and cultural trends, including the wars of religion, the fight against libertinism, Louis XIV's relationship with the church, the need to convert lay women to a life of piety, the condemnation of mysticism, the rise and fall of Jansenism, the need for female educational institutions, and an increasing public interest in connecting religious devotion with pleasurable entertainments. Although the songs' styles and lyrics changed over time, the power of music as one of the most important discursive modes of communication during the Catholic Reform remained the same.

The Reconversion of Women through Seventeenth-Century French Sacred Songs

Catholicism as Musical Discourse

"The first collection to show the full range of ways in which the Bible was mediated through both popular and elite music in nineteenth-century Britain"--

This volume brings together new approaches to music history to reveal the interdependence of music and religion in nineteenth-century culture. As composers and performers drew inspiration from the Bible and new historical sciences called into question the historicity of Scripture, controversies raged over the performance, publication and censorship of old and new musical forms. From oratorio to opera, from parlour song to pantomime, and from hymn to broadside, nineteenth-century Britons continually encountered elements of the biblical past in song. Both elite and popular music came to play a significant role in the formation, regulation and contestation of religious and cultural identity and were used to address questions of class, nation and race, leading to the beginnings of ethnomusicology. This richly interdisciplinary volume brings together musicologists, historians, literary and art historians and theologians to reveal points of intersection between music, religion and cultural history.

Bloomsbury Studies in Black Religion and Cultures

Is contemporary Black British gospel music a coloniality? What theological message is really conveyed in these songs? In this book, Robert Beckford shows how the Black British contemporary gospel music tradition is in crisis because its songs continue to be informed by colonial Christian ideas about God. Beckford explores the failure of both African and African Caribbean heritage Churches to Decolonise their faith, especially the doctrine of God, biblical interpretation and Black ontology. This predicament has left song leaders, musicians and songwriters with a reservoir of ideas that aim to disavow engagement with the social-historical world, black Biblical interpretation and the necessity of loving blackness. This book is decolonisation through praxis. Reflecting on the conceptual social justice album 'The Jamaican Bible Remix' (2017) as a communicative resource, Beckford shows how to develop production tools to inscribe decolonial theological thought onto Black British music(s). The outcome of this process is the creation of a decolonial contemporary gospel music genre. The impact of the album is demonstrated through case studies in national and international contexts.

Decolonizing Contemporary Gospel Music Through Praxis

Voice Junction

for SSATB unaccompanied With a text by Thomas H. Troeger, this deeply expressive piece explores the notion of companionship and resilience through difficult times. The comforting, lyrical melody is set over a bed of rich harmonies, perfectly complimenting the text's description of the courage, faith, and confidence nurtured in a loving community.

Essential Musicals

What was Broadway's first Jukebox Musical? What does 42nd Street have in common with Moulin Rouge! and Mamma Mia! ? Will Broadway ever fall out of love with the Jukebox Musical form? Essential Musicals: Jukebox Musicals defines what is meant by this much over-used term whilst taking care to draw a distinction between it and a revue. Taking a historical, survey approach it looks at when these shows first appeared on Broadway and how they become a dominant genre, offering a critical approach as to how something that used to be an anomaly is now the norm. Through a chronological look at 10 case studies this book asks questions related to rising production costs through to audience appeal behind bringing well-known catalogs of music to the stage. It ponders the question: is there a shortage of original music being written for the musical genre or is there something else at play? Examining the origins, development and reception for each of these shows it offers an academic discussion of the most divisive sub-genres of the musical form. Published in Methuen Drama's Essential Musicals series, this book is perfect for students of Musical Theatre, drawing together different resources to dig into the backstories of Broadway’s biggest hits and mining the historical record for nuggets of information that illuminate our understanding and enhance our enjoyment of musical theatre’s unique brand of magic.

Elements in Religion and Monotheism

What connects the phenomenon of music as an art with the belief in one indivisible God? What has music, a non-linguistic medium, to say about the personal, loving, communicative God of Scripture and the Prophets, or the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, transcendent God of the Philosophers and can it bring these 'concepts of God' together? To answer these questions, this book takes divine Creation as its starting point, that the God of monotheism must be the Creator of all that is. It thus argues that anything which instantiates and facilitates communication within the created realm has been enabled to do so by a God who communicates with His Creation, and who wishes that His Creation be communicative. Indeed, it will argue that the communication allowed by music, and aesthetic experience in general, is the very raison d'être of Abrahamic monotheism and might thus allow an opportunity for dialogue between monotheistic faiths.
