[audiobook] Cartographic Grounds: Projecting the Landscape Imaginary by From Princeton Architectural Press in Arts-Photography

Description

The interrelationship of music and theology is a burgeoning area of scholarship in which conceptual issues have been explored by musicologists and theologians including Jeremy Begbie; Quentin Faulkner and Jon Michael Spencer. Their important work has opened up opportunities for focussed; critical studies of the ways in which music and theology can be seen to interact in specific repertoires; genres; and institutions as well as the work of particular composers; religious leaders and scholars. This collection of essays explores such areas in relation to the religious; musical and social history of nineteenth-century Britain. The book does not simply present a history of sacred music of the period; but examines the role of music in the diverse religious life of a century that encompassed the Oxford Movement; Catholic Emancipation; religious revivals involving many different denominations; the production of several landmark hymnals and greater legal recognition for religions other than Christianity. The book therefore provides a valuable guide to the music of this complex historical period.
