Reforming Music : Music and the Religious Reformations of the Sixteenth Century

---

Outline : As legend has it, five hundred years ago an Augustinian monk nailed his theological theses to the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg. The sound of Luther’s mythical hammer, however, was by no means the only aural manifestation of the religious Reformations in the sixteenth century. This book unveils the origins of Lutheran Chorales and Calvinist Psalmody; it explains how music was thought of and practised by Catholic nuns, Lutheran schoolchildren, Huguenots on the battlefield, missionaries and martyrs, cardinals at the Council of Trent and heretics in hiding, at a time when Palestrina, Lassus and Tallis were composing their masterpieces, and when forbidden songs could be concealed, smuggled, sold and sung in taverns and princely courts alike.
Music was the expression of faith and prayer in the emerging rituals of Protestant Churches and in the ancient liturgies of the Catholic Church. It was the preferred means for spreading new religious beliefs and countering heresy; it was the preferred analysed and dissected by humanist theorists and philosophers, and it comforted and consoled miners, housewives and persecuted preachers. Music became both the symbol of new, conflicting identities and the only surviving trace of a lost unity of faith. The music of the Reformations was, thus, at the same time music reformed, reforming music and the reform of music. This book enables the reader to hear what the Reformations sounded like, and how music became crucial for the religious Reformers of the sixteenth century.
