Opis

Singing the Resurrection brings music to the foreground of Reformation studies, as author Erin Lambert explores song as a primary mode for the expression of belief among ordinary Europeans in the sixteenth century, for the embodiment of individual piety, and the creation of new communities of belief.

Recenzje

The book does not intend to offer close musical readings of works or sources, but rather to help nonspecialist readers learn how music was integrated with texts, images, beliefs, and the actions of believers across the fragmented religious landscape of the Reformation... Singing the Resurrection: Body, Community, and Belief in Reformation Europe offers a challenge to musicologists and historians: tell the stories of history using all the threads of culture. Integrating music into this story draws the people of the Reformation and their convictions more vividly into our own understanding of their worlds.
