Beskrivning
Musical culture offers vivid evidence of the profound transformation of English religious life in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Often heralded as a ‘Golden Age’ for church music, the period saw royal chapels and other extraordinary institutions negotiate and reshape their liturgical practices amid the political and confessional upheavals of the ‘long Reformation’.Co-edited by Oscar Patton (University of Oxford), Katie Bank (University of Birmingham), and Samuel Teague (University of Oxford), this interdisciplinary volume brings together leading and rising international scholars in history, musicology, art history, theology, heritage, and performance. Its essays examine the Chapel Royal and other extraordinary religious institutions as sites where music, liturgy, politics, and institutional identity intersected in the century following the Reformation.Bringing conversations often separated by disciplinary and chronological boundaries into dialogue, the volume explores Protestant and Catholic royal worship, public musical ceremonial, and the sensory experience of extraordinary ecclesiastical spaces. It asks how elaborate musical liturgy was reconciled with Protestant doctrine; how royal worship compared with cathedral and collegiate practice; and how far the liturgical, ritual, and institutional lives of these exceptional foundations changed after the Reformation or provided models for the wider Church.
