Opis

Rebecca Maloy's Songs of Sacrifice argues that liturgical music-both texts and melodies-played a central role in the cultural renewal of early Medieval Iberia, with a chant repertory that was carefully designed to help build a society unified in the Nicene faith.

Recenzje

Songs of Sacrificewill help to transform understandings of the religious culture of Visigothic Iberia. It demonstrates convincingly how the theological and pastoral writings of bishops found expression in the liturgy as part of a concerted effort to make a truly orthodox Christian society.
