Long description: Die Eucharistie gilt als Mitte des christlichen Lebens. Dafür zeigen die alten Liturgien eine Form, die auch die „Waisen und Unmündigen verstehen konnten: Aufrichtung der Herzen zu Gott, Dank für Jesus Christus, der in der Feier zu seiner Gemeinde kommt und zur Wiederholung seines letzten Mahls auffordert, weswegen die Gemeinde Brot und Wein nimmt und um den verwandelnden Segen bittet, auf dass alle Anteil gewinnen an Tod und Auferstehung Jesu. Die vorliegende Untersuchung verfolgt Verständnis und Praxis des Mittelalters und fragt, ob und wie hier eine organische Liturgieentwicklung vorliegt und in wieweit sich daraus Reformanstöße ergeben.

This is the first ever book-length study of the a cappella masses which appeared in France in choirbook layout during the baroque era. Though the musical settings of the Ordinarium missæ and of the Missa pro defunctis have been the subject of countless studies, the stylistic evolution of the polyphonic masses composed in France during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has been neglected owing to the labor involved in creating scores from the surviving individual parts. Jean-Paul C. Montagnier has examined closely the printed, engraved and stenciled choirbooks containing this repertoire, and his book focuses mainly on the music as it stands in them. After tracing the choirbooks' publishing history, the author places these mass settings in their social, liturgical and musical context. He shows that their style did not all adhere strictly to the stile antico, but could also employ the most up-to-date musical language of the period.

Few western musical repertories speak more to the imagination than the Requiem mass for the dead. Yet, surprisingly, despite the significance of Requiem settings for our musical culture, the literature concerning them is sparse. The Book of Requiems presents essays on the most important works in this tradition, from the origins of the genre up to the present day. Each chapter is devoted to a specific Requiem, and offers both historical information and a detailed work-discussion. Conceived as a multi-volume essay collection by leading experts, The Book of Requiems is an authoritative reference publication intended as a first port of call for musicologists, music theorists, and performers both professional and student. The present volume, the second in the series, treats settings composed between c. 1550 and c. 1650, a period in which the Requiem becomes a defining feature of the soundscape of Catholic death rituals.
