"Our contemporary culture is communicating ever-increasingly through the visual, through film, and through music. This makes it ever more urgent for theologians to explore the resources of art for enriching our understanding and experience of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Annunciations: Sacred Music for the twenty-First Century, edited by George Corbett, answers this need, evaluating the relationship between the sacred and the composition, performance, and appreciation of music. Through the theme of 'annunciations', this volume interrogates how, when, why, through and to whom God communicates in the Old and New Testaments. In doing so, it tackles the intimate relationship between Scriptural reflection and musical practice in the past, its present condition, and what the future might hold. Annunciations comprises three parts. Part I sets out flexible theological and compositional frameworks for a constructive relationship between the sacred and music. Part II presents the reflections of theologians and composers involved in collaborating on new pieces of sacred choral music, alongside the six new scores and links to the recordings. Part III considers the reality of programming and performing sacred works today. This volume provides an indispensable resource for scholars and artists working at the interface between theology and the arts, and for those involved in sacred music. However, it will also be of interest to anyone concerned with the ways in which the Divine communicates through word and artistry to humanity."--Publisher's website.

Drawing upon three decades of research in European sacred music, Philip V. Bohlman calls for a re-examination of European modernity in the twenty first century, a modernity shaped no less by canonic religious and musical practices than by the proliferation of belief systems that today more than ever respond to the diverse belief systems that engender the New Europe.

Soucieux de réconcilier l'érudition " grégorienne" avec les travaux des liturgistes et des philologues, Jean-François Goudesenne scrute dans la genèse du chant " grégorien", l'hypothèse d'une première phase franco-insulaire, enracinée dans l'ancienne Neustrie mérovingienne, vivifiée par les apports monastiques irlandais puis en lien avec des foyers carolingiens piémontais et lombards. Une hypothèse qui permet de reconstruire une genèse d'un grégorien décliné au pluriel, en lien avec d'autres branches. Comme l'écriture caroline, le " grégorien" fut " fabriqué" par étapes progressives, non depuis un centre unique mais à partir de plusieurs matrices. Les multiples interférences de l'oralité sur l'écriture, la nature spécifique des textes chantés comme la fonction manuscrits liturgiques permettent de déceler ses réécritures successives, dégagée des dogmes hérités de cette vision néo-lachmanienne d'un original unique à deux branches opposées d'une historiographie qui a largement valorisé les types Lotharingien et Alémano-germanique de la période ottonienne tout au long des XIXe et XXe siècles. Richement documenté, l'auteur revisite les aires culturelles européennes en inscrivant "l'émergence grégorienne" comme une acculturation évolutive, dans un schéma généalogique bien plus complexe qu'une simple transmission linéaire. Une posture lentement construite à partir d'un vaste corpus, desservie par un large panel de sources dans l'espace de l'Imperium et la profondeur de la transmission longue, qui s'oppose aux méthodes des entreprises bénédictines des années 30-60 comme aux restitutions de l'école post-cardinienne, pour s'inscrire plus volontiers dans la lignée des travaux de Treitler, Van der Werf, Bernard, Saulnier ou Jeffery.

This book is the first-ever study of Malta's major eighteenth-century composer, Benigno Zerafa (1726-1804), a specialist in sacred music composition. Zerafa's large-scale and small-scale vocal and choral works, mostly written during his long service as musical director at the Cathedral of Mdina, have been winning increased recognition in recent years. In addition to describing and analysing this extensive corpus, the book gives an account of Zerafa's sometimes eventful career against the wider background of the rich musical and cultural life in Malta, especial attention being paid to its strong links with Italy, and particularly Naples, where Zerafa was a student for six years. It examines in detail the complex relationship of music to Catholic liturgy and investigates the distinctive characteristics of the musical style, intermediate between baroque and classical, in which Zerafa was trained and always composed: one that today is commonly labelled 'galant'.
Well stocked with music examples, the book makes copious reference to Italian and Maltese composers from Zerafa's time and to modern analytical studies of Italian music from the middle decades of the eighteenth century, thereby offering a useful general commentary on the galant period. Its central aim, however, is to stimulate further interest in, and revival of, Zerafa's music. To this end the book contains a complete work-list with supplementary indexes. Scholars and students of eighteenth-century music, in particular sacred music, the galant style and Italian music, will find it invaluable.

Through Ottoman, Turkish, and Jewish music-making this cultural history illuminates a multi-ethnic Ottoman art world and its transformations across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It explores cross-cultural flows often left out of histories focusing on Jewish communities in isolation, top-down political events, or national narratives. The genre under study, Maftirim music, is a paraliturgical sacred suite developing since the seventeenth century along with Ottoman court music.

"How does the sacred/secular opposition explain itself in the context of musical production? This volume traces this binary as it frames Western Classical music and Indian Classical music in the 18th and 19th centuries, laying the ground for a contemporary exploration of what is ostensibly sacred music in South Asia. Offering a potent critique of musicological knowledge-making, Virinder S. Kalra explores examples of South Asian musics in various domains and traverses a new cartography of music in which the sacred and the secular overlap. Drawing on examples which include Qawwali, kirtan and popular devotional genres, Sacred and Secular Musics offers new empirical material, as well as new insights into conceptualising religion and music, and the ways in which music performs sacredness and secularity across the contested India-Pakistan border in the region of Punjab. Through its deconstruction of the sacred/secular opposition, Sacred and Secular Musics explores the relationship of religion and music to wider questions of religion and politics. Its postcolonial approach brings Asia into the Western sacred/secular opposition, and provides a set of analytical tools - a language and range of theories - to allow further exploration of non-western religious music."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

McKinnon considers the musical practices of the early Church in this incisive examination of the history of Christian chant from the years A.D.. 200 to 800. The result is an important book that is certain to have a long-lasting impact on musicology, religious studies, and history.

Le Concile Vatican Il a défini la musique sacrée en tant que fonction ministérielle (munus ministeriale) dans la liturgie. Cette appellation sans précédent ouvre de vastes horizons sur la place de la musique sacrée dans le lieu propre du questionnement théologique bien qu'encore peu explorés. Expression sonore de l'Eglise là où l'indicible est irréductible au langage, la musique liturgique s'inscrit dans une anthropologie du rite. Au service de la communauté, elle en renforce la cohésion et exprime ce qui s'y vit, elle signifie la fête en opérant une rupture avec le quotidien. Les défis soulevés sont de taille, ne serait-ce que pour se garder de l'écueil d'une recherche d'esthétisme pur, faux chemin vers Dieu, ou quand l'acte de foi n'est plus un préalable et la tension eschatologique occultée. Porte d'entrée pour repenser la place de la musique sacrée dans la liturgie chrétienne, l'expression conciliaire permet d'interroger sous un jour nouveau le rapport de l'homme à la musique dans sa relation à Dieu et la participation de cette dernière à l'épiphanie du mystère de l'Eglise. Cet essai est notamment enrichi d'une considérable bibliographie offrant une vue d'ensemble de la question musicale dans le christianisme.
