Recenzii
Scripture and Song in Nineteenth-Century Britain is one of the most exciting and important collections in the field of 19th-century studies to come along in many a year. In response to this well-researched, path-breaking volume, everyone interested in the Victorians ought to sing out a hearty hallelujah.
This illuminating investigation of 'sacred song as an expression of communal and confessional solidarity but also enthusiastic dissent' reveals the myriad relationships between scripture and song in the nineteenth century, ranging from street ballads to psalmody, and from concert-hall and drawing room to church and synagogue. If on one hand the volume emphasizes the presence of the Bible in vocal music-making of all genres, on the other it underlines the centrality of song in religious utterance. Voices raised in prayer, sorrow, anger and jubilation sound throughout this interdisciplinary collection of essays in a moving evocation of spiritual communication with the divine, be that devotion or interrogation. In this way, James Grande and Brian Murray and their impressive assembly of scholars afford us the means of 'hearing' nineteenth-century society and its diverse, complex encounters with religion in a new, powerfully resonant way.
Delving into the complex world of nineteenth-century culture, this captivating volume explores the dynamic relationship between music and religion. With meticulous scholarship, it traces how music both shaped and reflected the complex interplay of faith, identity, and society, resonating through time as a testament to the profound interconnection between art and spirituality.
Scripture and Song in Nineteenth-Century Britain is a valuable contribution to the studies of music and religion in the long nineteenth century, bridging previously unacknowledged gaps between British world and empire, center and periphery. From hymnody and Jewish liturgical music to evolutionary science, the essays offer refreshing insights into sacred song's mediation of social, religious, cultural, institutional and even scientific contexts.
Music and religion, a hot topic in many periods of conventional music history, is often ignored in nineteenth-century music studies. This fascinating book, written from an array of interdisciplinary perspectives, demonstrates what is lost, in particular how scripture and song resonated together in so many ways: within compositional and performative worlds, of course; but also - and more surprisingly - within the biographical, philosophical, architectural and anthropological contexts of nineteenth-century Britain.
