Biblical Motifs: Scripture Stories in Classical Music (Bibleyskie Motivy)
22.22£
The Great Flood and the murder of Abel; Belshazzar's feast and the adoration of the Magi; the Baptism of the Lord and the capture of Jericho—many of us are accustomed to recognizing these stories from the visual arts and can place them in the chronology of biblical events... or can we? This book is about music based on the main stories of the Old and New Testaments. The reader's journey will take them from the Creation to the Last Judgment, and in musical chronology, from an unknown 16th-century madrigal based on the words of King Solomon's Song of Songs to a surreal 21st-century vocal cycle based on American spirituals.
