Co-edited by a leading scholar of apocalypticism and a professional musician, this volume explores the world of music in the apocalyptic mode from the late Middle Ages to the present day, with an emphasis on the interplay among music, lyrics, images, and performance.
In this volume, the first panoramic study of music in the apocalyptic mode, an international and trans-disciplinary array of scholars and composers explore the resonance of the ancient biblical Revelation of John across the centuries in musical works as diverse as El Cant de la Sibil·la, the Dies Irae, cantatas and oratorios by Bach and Telemann, Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, Schoenberg’s Second String Quartet, African American Spirituals, Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du temps, Christian “ApokRock,” Hip-hop, Grimes’s album Miss Anthropocene, and the songs of Bob Marley and Bob Dylan. This innovative volume will engage scholars, students, and all those interested in the intersection of music, religion, history, and popular culture.
