Musical Scores and the Eternal Present

Theology, Time, and Tolkien

By: Chiara Bertoglio

Music is played and heard in time, yet it is also embodied in space by musical scores. The observation of a musical score turns time into space and allows musicians to embrace the flow of time in a single glance. This experience constitutes a symbol for the Eternal Present, the simultaneous knowledge of all time outside time. This book analyzes the implications of this view through a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, linking theology, philosophy, literature, and music. It also studies how this theme has been foreshadowed in the writings of Dante and J. R. R. Tolkien, demonstrating the connections between their masterpieces and the aesthetics of their times. The result is a fascinating itinerary through the history of culture, thought, and music, but also a deeply theological and spiritual experience.

Reforming Music

Music and the Religious Reformations of the Sixteenth Century

By: Chiara Bertoglio

Five hundred years ago a monk nailed his theses to a church gate in Wittenberg. The sound of Luther’s mythical hammer, however, was by no means the only aural manifestation of the religious Reformations. This book describes the birth of Lutheran Chorales and Calvinist Psalmody; of how music was practised by Catholic nuns, Lutheran schoolchildren, battling Huguenots, missionaries and martyrs, cardinals at Trent and heretics in hiding, at a time when Palestrina, Lasso and Tallis were composing their masterpieces, and forbidden songs were concealed, smuggled and sung in taverns and princely courts alike. Music expressed faith in the Evangelicals’ emerging worships and in the Catholics’ ancient rites; through it new beliefs were spread and heresy countered; analysed by humanist theorists, it comforted and consoled miners, housewives and persecuted preachers; it was both the symbol of new, conflicting identities and the only surviving trace of a lost unity of faith. The music of the Reformations, thus, was music reformed, music reforming and the reform of music: this book shows what the Reformations sounded like, and how music became one of the protagonists in the religious conflicts of the sixteenth century.

Sacred and Secular Intersections in Music of the Long Nineteenth Century

Church, Stage, and Concert Hall

By: Eftychia Papanikolaou,Markus Rathey

Sacred and Secular Intersections in Music of the Long Nineteenth Century: Church, Stage, and Concert Hall explores interconnections of the sacred and the secular in music and aesthetic debates of the long nineteenth century. The essays in this volume view the category of the sacred not as a monolithic attribute that applies only to music written for and performed in a religious ritual. Rather, the “sacred” is viewed as a functional as well as a topical category that enhances the discourse of cross-pollination of musical vocabularies between sacred and secular compositions, church and concert music. Using a variety of methodological approaches, the contributors articulate how sacred and religious identities coalesce, reconcile, fuse, or intersect in works from the long nineteenth century that traverse an array of genres and compositional styles.

Through Music To Truth

Music and Theology in Dialogue with Italian Culture

By: Chiara Bertoglio

Can music be a gateway to truth? And how can this happen? This book explores the fascinating narrative of the relationship between music and faith, in dialogue with major figures of the Italian culture. Dante's itinerary to God in the Divina Commedia can be described as a musical path; the popularity of Verdi's Va', pensiero dovetails with Italy's recent history and expresses the feelings and prayers of the Istrian exiles; the influence of Petrarch on European poetry and music is felt in J. S. Bach’s sacred output, which also comprises his own transcription of a Marian devotional work by Pergolesi. Each of the four chapters of this book focuses on one of these four leading characters of Italian history (Dante, Petrarch, Pergolesi and Verdi), whose artistry shaped our culture. They also created new ways to express the splendour of truth, which transforms aesthetic enjoyment into the contemplation of the ultimate Good, the radiant beauty of God. --- Dante, Petrarch, Pergolesi, Bach and Verdi: through beauty, culture and music to the splendour of truth.
