The Faith of Great Composers
14.99 €
How closely intertwined is the history of world classical music with Christianity? In order to appreciate the true scale of the phenomenon, it is not enough to simply trace the major milestones of musical history. A slightly closer than usual look at the lives and works of individual outstanding composers of the past speaks much more eloquently. It was the Christian religion that was the linchpin and the force through which great musical masterpieces came into being. Without this very close connection, the treasury of world musical culture would today look scanty. After all, the classical composers themselves simply could not imagine themselves outside of faith, even if the path to finding it was not always smooth. In the context of the relationship between Christianity and creativity, this book examines the life story of 19 outstanding foreign and domestic composers who lived during three centuries. The publication is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the issues of culture, history, and spiritual life.
