Abstract

"Music has often attempted to express mystical states of mind, cosmic harmony, the demonic and the divine. This wide-ranging survey explores how such film music works and uncovers its origins in Pythagorean and Platonic ideas about the divine order of the universe and its essentially numerical/musical nature"--

Abstract

"This edited volume explores the dialogue between art and music with that of mystical currents at the turn of the twentieth century. The volume draws on the most current research from both art historians and musicologists to present an interdisciplinary approach to the study of mysticism's historical importance. The chapters in this edited volume gauge the scope of different interpretations of mysticism and illuminate how an exchange between the sister arts unveil an underlying stream of metaphysical, supernatural, and spiritual ideas over the course of the century. Case studies include Charles Tournemire, Joseph Péladan, Erik Satie, Hilma af Klint, Jean Sibelius, František Kupka, and Wassily Kandinsky. The contributors' unique theoretical perspectives and disciplinary methodologies offer expert insight on both the rewards and inevitable aesthetic complications that arise when one artform meets another. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, musicology, visual culture, and mysticism. Corrinne"--

Abstract

Tangle of Matter & Ghost: Leonard Cohen's Post-Secular Songbook of Mysticism(s) Jewish & beyond analyzes the lyrical poetry of Leonard Cohen through a post-secular lens. The volume fuses sophisticated theory and popular culture with critical analysis that is lacking in most of the rock n' roll biographies about Leonard Cohen. How does this mystical maestro's songbook emerge to illuminate questions of meaning making in a post-secular context when correlated with thinkers like Charles Taylor, Edward S. Casey, Jurgen Habermas, Slavoj Žižek, Jeffrey Kripal and Harold Bloom along with others. Cohen's mysticism is also analyzed in relationship to Kabbalah, Hasidism and Rinzai Buddhism. Tangle of Matter & Ghost presents a unique inter-disciplinary approach to Jewish philosophy and literary studies with wide appeal for diverse audiences and readership.

Abstract

Pendant tout le Moyen Age, la musique n'a cessé de nourrir la spéculation dans les domaines mathématique et philosophique ainsi que d'inspirer l'art et la spiritualité, où elle est conçue comme le fondement de l'harmonie divine et humaine. Réalisant la synthèse de ces traditions, Jean Gerson élabore une théorie de l'ascension mystique à partir de ce modèle musical : au moyen d'une série de correspondances entre musique sensible et vie spirituelle, il décrit une gamme mystique dont les «voix affectives» sont disposées selon des principes empruntés au calcul des intervalles musicaux. Ce «chant du cœur», le Canticordum, que la Vierge Marie a fait entendre de manière incomparable dans son Magnificat trace pour le chrétien le chemin d'un pèlerinage vers Dieu. Sans jamais réduire la musique audible au rang de simple outil pédagogique, Gerson maintient le «chant de la bouche» dans sa dignité liturgique et anagogique : la voix de la louange demeure un moyen adéquat pour approcher Dieu et le chant du cœur ne vise en fin de compte qu'à prolonger cet élan amoureux de l'âme. Transcendant toutes les formes concevables d'harmonie, la gamme mystique culmine ainsi dans une sorte d'unisson polyphonique avec la Trinité, au sein d'un chatoyant concert aux dimensions de l'univers. Produisant l'édition critique, accompagnée de leur traduction, des textes consacrés au Canticordum, Isabelle Fabre examine les multiples aspects d'une théorie originale et reconsidère l'évolution de la pensée gersonienne, jalon, s'il en est un, de l'histoire de la théologie mystique à la fin du Moyen Age.
