Music and Spirituality

ISSN: 2296-164X

Music and Spirituality explores the relationships between spirituality and music in a variety of traditions and contexts including those in which human beings have performed music with spiritual intention or effect. It addresses the plurality of modern society in the areas of musical style and philosophical and religious beliefs, and gives respect to different positions regarding the place of music both in worship and in the wider society. The series will include historical, anthropological, musicological, ethnomusicological, theological and philosophical dimensions and encourages multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary contributions. It looks for well-researched studies with new and open approaches to spirituality and music and encourages interesting innovative case-studies. Books within the series are subject to peer review and will include single and co-authored monographs as well as edited collections including conference proceedings. The use of musical material in either written or recorded form as part of submissions is welcome.

Musica poetica

ISSN: 2365-094X

Musica poetica widmet sich der Erforschung musikalischer Phänomene der frühen Neuzeit. Ästhetische, philologische, musiktheoretische, analytische und aufführungspraktische Fragestellungen stehen ebenso im Fokus der Reihe wie kulturwissenschaftliche Ansätze. Die frühe Neuzeit wurde in dichter Folge von katastrophischen Ereignissen, gesellschaftlichen Umwälzungen und wissenschaftlichen 'Turns' erschüttert. Leitfrage der Reihe ist nicht zuletzt, in welcher Weise fundamentale Verwerfungen wie der Dreißigjährige Krieg, der Durchbruch des galanten Paradigmas, cartesianische Wende oder Aufklärung ihre Spuren im Komponieren und Nachdenken über Musik hinterlassen haben. Musik avanciert als fester Bestandteil menschlichen Handelns zum klingenden Spiegel der frühen Neuzeit. Ivana Rentsch Seit 2013 Professorin für Historische Musikwissenschaft an der Universität Hamburg. Forschungsschwerpunkte sind u. a. kulturhistorische und ästhetische Fragestellungen zur Musik und Musiktheorie der Frühen Neuzeit, das Musik- und Tanztheater des 17. bis 20. Jahrhunderts, die Gattungsgeschichte des Liedes und die tschechische Musikgeschichte. Oliver Huck Professor für Historische Musikwissenschaft an der Universität Hamburg. Er ist Leiter des Integrierten Graduiertenkollegs "Manuskriptkulturen" im Sonderforschungsbereich 950 "Manuskriptkulturen in Asien, Afrika und Europa" und Mitglied des Graduiertenkollegs 2008 "Interkonfessionalität in der Frühen Neuzeit".
