Music in Early Christian Literature de James W. McKinnon

Music in Early Christian Literature: Cambridge Readings in the Literature of Music

Editat de James W. McKinnon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 1989
This book provides a collection of some 400 passages on music from early Christian literature - New Testament to c. 450 AD - newly translated from the original Greek, Latin, and Syriac. As there are no musical sources of the period, music historians must rely upon remarks about music in literary sources to gain some knowledge of early Christian liturgical music. This volume makes a large and representative collection of the material conveniently available. The passages are arranged chronologically and regionally in eleven chapters with brief commentary. An introduction sets out the major subjects and themes of the original source material.

Recenzii

'This is a book to be grateful for, since the extracts are intelligently selected and helpfully commented on, while the new translations are as lucid as may be expected with such opaque writings.' The Times Literary Supplement
'Professor McKinnon's book is a major landmark.' Music and Musicians
'James McKinnon's book is a valuable secondary source, and it deserves to be read by all who have a serious interest in early Christian music and liturgy.' Music and Letters
