Weihnachtslieder von John Rutter (John
Rutter Carols)

Weihnachtslieder von John Rutter (John Rutter Carols)

Sieben Weihnachtslieder für Sopran- und Altstimmen in deutscher Übersetzung (Seven carols for upper voices in German translation)

Author Derek L. Stauff offers a new look German Lutheran music of the 1620s and 1630s, showing how its composers carefully set biblical texts that resonated with the war and performed them in politically meaningful contexts. This book reveals to readers how their music became a representation of the Lutheran church, stoking fears about Catholic religious persecution, celebrating political alignments, critiquing controversial decrees, or lamenting the brutality of war.

This book takes a new look at sacred music written in present-day central Germany during the Thirty Years War (1618-48), and in doing so reveals distinct connections between religious works and the historical and political contexts in which they emerged. As author Derek L. Stauff asserts, specific Lutheran biblical motets and sacred concertos engage with the war's events, people, and politics in more detailed and meaningful ways than previously imagined. Composers working in Saxony, like Heinrich Schütz, Johann Hermann Schein, Tobias Michael, and Andreas Hammerschmidt, crafted these connections by deftly selecting biblical texts that specifically resonated with the war, by setting their texts in ways that amplify these resonances, and by performing this music in politically meaningful contexts. As a result, their music could take on a variety of war-related meanings: some pieces represent the Lutheran church and community, stoking fears about Catholic political aggression and religious persecution, warning Lutherans of the grave peril in which their church was foundering, and comforting believers with promises of God's protection. Other works celebrate contemporary political and military alignments, such as the Swedish-Saxon alliance (1631-35) and its victory at the Battle of Breitenfeld (1631), and close scrutiny of a few musical pieces reveals hidden or implicit critique of a controversial decree like the Edict of Restitution (1628) or of the excesses of Swedish troops. Stauff investigates the scriptural texts at the root of this repertoire, drawing on theological and devotional writings to show how early modern Lutherans connected these texts to the war and its political disputes. He also reconstructs the political contexts in which some works were performed or published; while his analyses focus chiefly on Saxony--especially Leipzig--they also remain relevant to other Lutheran regions of the Holy Roman Empire.

In a repertoire that might all too easily appear to uniformly preach peace and protest war, or to float timelessly in a liturgical space undisturbed by contemporary affairs, Stauff decisively shows how Lutheran composers actively reflected on and responded to the war, as well as the political and religious struggles underpinning it, through their sacred music.

"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.

The State of Afterness studies the histories of contemporary music written in and about Israel since the 1980s. With afterness defined as the state of being unconditioned by territorialism, author Assaf Shelleg shows how composers gradually opted for national diasporism while reacknowledging the need to open up Jewish culture to contemporary aesthetic norms. Looking at operatic, symphonic, chamber, and electronic works, this book narrates the cultural history of an Israeli nation and a Jewish civilization still at odds.

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.
