Omschrijving
A valuable to anyone pursuing a deeper acquaintance with this unique -- and uniquely American -- tradition. . . . A thorough introduction to the various aspects of the topic.
A valuable to anyone pursuing a deeper acquaintance with this unique -- and uniquely American -- tradition. . . . A thorough introduction to the various aspects of the topic.
Provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of music in the Moravian Church. . . . Well documented with chapter endnotes and amply illustrated with music examples, facsimiles from early sources, and photographs. . . . A veritable vade mecum for the subject. . . . There is a genuine need for this book.
Music plays a huge role in Moravian culture. . . . Those wishing to build an understanding of this music and musical culture will appreciate the first several essays . . . . A significant addition to the literature on Moravian music and culture (and, indeed, on church music more broadly.) . . . Summing Up: Recommended. All audiences, but particularly undergraduates and general readers.
This marvelous collection of essays presents a rich, provocative account of an underappreciated musical heritage. Its penetrating insights go well beyond Moravian culture. Indeed, this book should be required reading for any person, of any denomination, interested in the complex issue of music in liturgy. --Lorenzo Candelaria, University of Texas at Austin (Musicology) and co-author of American Music: A Panorama
A giant step in the ongoing task of disseminating information about the origins of Moravian music and its importance on the American musical scene. The assembly of works by significant scholars is well illustrated by examples of printed music, hymns, and both original and translated texts. --Wake Forest University (History) and longtime president of Historic Winston.
Insightful quotations from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sources...Well documented...[Nola] Reed Knouse and other contributors provide excellent discussions of the Moravian cultivation of amateur music making...Readers...may find themselves, as Goethe, Herder, [George] Washington, and [Benjamin] Franklin were, moved by the emotionally charged religious sentiment of Moravian music.
Based on the extraordinary archives of the Moravian Music Foundation. . . . Necessary and welcome. . . . [A] seminal collection.
