Music and the Religious Reformations of the Sixteenth CenturyBertoglio, Chiara.creatortextbibliographyElectronic books.gw2017monographiceng1 online resource (871 pages)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.Frontmatter -- Prefaces -- Acknowledgements -- Contents -- Introduction -- Abbreviations and reference works -- Chapter 1 -- Framing a century -- Chapter 2 -- Music, society and culture -- Chapter 3 -- Criticising sacred music -- Chapter 4 -- The reformers' concept of music -- Chapter 5 -- Music in the Evangelical Churches: Luther -- Chapter 6 -- Music in the Evangelical Churches: Calvin -- Chapter 7 -- Music in the Church of England -- Chapter 8 -- Music and the Council of Trent -- Chapter 9 -- Music after Trent -- Chapter 10 -- Music and confessionalisation -- Chapter 11 -- Music beyond confessionalisation -- Chapter 12 -- Music and women -- Conclusions -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Index of Names -- Index of Subjects.Chiara Bertoglio.In English.Includes bibliographical references and index.Church music16th centuryReformationMUSICInstruction & StudyTheoryChurch musicReformation 1500-1599 fast (Produktform)Electronic book text(Zielgruppe)Fachpublikum/ Wissenschaft(BISAC Subject Heading)REL067080(BISAC Subject Heading)MUS048010: MUS048010 MUSIC / Religious / Christian(BISAC Subject Heading)HIS037030: HIS037030 HISTORY / Modern / General(BISAC Subject Heading)MUS022000: MUS022000 MUSIC / Instruction & Study / General(BISAC Subject Heading)HIS000000: HIS000000 HISTORY / General(BISAC Subject Heading)REL082000: REL082000 RELIGION / Christianity / Lutheran(BISAC Subject Heading)REL116000: REL116000 RELIGION / Religious Intolerance, Persecution & ConflictReformations; Early Modern; Polyphony; Sixteenth century(VLB-WN)9542Early ModernPolyphonyReformationsSixteenth century(Produktrabattgruppe)PR: rabattbeschränkt/BibliothekswerkeML2902 .B47 2017eb780780978311052081131105208189783110519334311051933X995699 MILhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=1477516http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=1477516DEGRU17031020200709060533.0ocn979847688eng
