The essays in this volume view the category of the sacred not as a monolithic attribute that applies only to music written for and performed in a religious ritual. Rather, the “sacred” is viewed as a functional as well as a topical category that enhances the discourse of cross-pollination of musical vocabularies between sacred and secular compositions, church and concert music. Using a variety of methodological approaches, the contributors articulate how sacred and religious identities coalesce, reconcile, fuse, or intersect in works from the long nineteenth century that traverse an array of genres and compositional styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This fascinating set of essays digs deep into the complexities of religion’s intertwining with music during an era when so many fundamental questions about the human condition were being thrown to the surface and debated. A rich feast indeed.”\u003c\/p\u003e -- Jeremy Begbie, Duke University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Sacred and Secular Intersections in Music of the Long Nineteenth Century is an excellently researched, written, and edited volume, with essays spanning a broad scope of topics, genres, composers, and geographic regions. The authors challenge the conception of ‘sacred’ and ‘secular’ as separate compositional and performative spheres, seeing them rather as complex categories with fluid boundaries. The volume is deeply cross-disciplinary, grounded in musicology while drawing on a wealth of other fields, including theology, liturgy, philosophy, history of religion, the politics of church and state, literature, theater, visual art, and aesthetics. It provides a valuable contribution to the field of nineteenth-century studies, both in the significant new insights it contains and in the ways it points to new avenues for future research.”\u003c\/p\u003e -- Mark A. Peters, Trinity Christian College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This wide-ranging collection of essays clearly demonstrates the generative potential of dialogue between musical and religious themes.
