Sacred and Secular Intersections in Music of the Long Nineteenth Century
Lexington Books/Fortress Academic (Verlag)
978-1-6669-0604-2 (ISBN)
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.
Eftychia Papanikolaou is associate professor of musicology at the College of Musical Arts at Bowling Green State University. Markus Rathey is the Robert S. Tangeman Professor of Music History at Yale University and author of Theology, Music, and Modernity: Struggles for Freedom.
