The author traces the history of Christianity’s relationship to musical culture, including 17th century clashes over musical style and diversity. As music expressed and emotionally actualized Scripture in new ways, there were arguments about whether, for example, music should be the ‘mistress’ of the biblical text or vice versa. In parsing music’s proper relationship to more propositional aspects of faith, the author invites a reading of music as rhetoric, something not reducible to a ‘stable semantic equivalence’ with a text. From the Monteverdi Vespers of 1610 to the Lutheran environment of J.S. Bach, the author explores the performative, sensual, and subjective dimensions of church music, suggesting that its meaning is discerned not only by the relevant text but also by the contexts of listeners: their circumstances, expectations, and emotive reception. Butt suggests that a critical tension between a musical tradition and a religious one could even be productive, resisting closed, simplistic systems, forming a dialectic that benefits both music culture and religious practice.","PeriodicalId":335216,"journal":{"name":"God’s Song and Music’s Meanings","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116155871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
