Download or read book Monastic experience in twelfth-century Germany written by and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monastic experience in twelfth-century Germany provides a rare window on to monastery life in the tumultuous world of twelfth-century Swabia. From its founding in 992 through the great fire that ravaged it in 1159 and beyond, Petershausen weathered countless external attacks and internal divisions. Supra-regional clashes between emperors and popes played out at the most local level. Monks struggled against overreaching bishops. Reformers introduced new and unfamiliar customs. Tensions erupted into violence within the community. Through it all the anonymous chronicler struggled to find meaning amid conflict and forge connections to a shared past, enlivening his narrative with colorful anecdotes – sometimes amusing, sometimes disturbing. Translated into English for the first time, this fascinating text is an essential source for the lived experience of medieval monasticism.

Download or read book Ornament as Argument written by Anna Bücheler and published by de Gruyter. This book was released on 2019 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores notions of ornamentation and materiality in 10th and 11th century manuscript illumination. So-called textile pages evoking the weave patterns of Byzantine and Islamic silk, show that ornament has metaphoric meaning and serves distinct functions in religious art. A contextualized reading investigates the ways in which textile pages relate to medieval theological issues, the liturgy, and contribute to medieval book culture.

Download or read book Mission Sitting Bull written by Manuel Menrath and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on two personalities, on Tatanka Iyotake (1831-1890), known as Sitting Bull, a political and spiritual leader of the Sioux people of the Great Plains, and on the immigrant Martin Marty (1834-1896), a Swiss abbot of the Benedictine monastery of St. Meinrad, Ind. Their life goals were opposite: Martin Marty not only intended to convert the Sioux to Christianity, but also to eradicate their culture and replace it with Euro-American patterns. Tatanka Iyotake in contrast, imbued with the millennia old traditions of his people, strove to oppose the territorial, political, and spiritual Euro-American conquest. (458pp. illus. index.

Download or read book Western Plainchant written by David Hiley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plainchant is the oldest substantial body of music that has been preserved in any shape or form. It was first written down in Western Europe in the eighth to ninth centuries. Many thousands of chants have been sung at different times or places in a multitude of forms and styles, responding to the differing needs of the church through the ages. This book provides a clear and concise introduction, designed both for those to whom the subject is new and those who require a reference work for advanced study. It begins with an explanation of the liturgies that plainchant was designed to serve. It describes all the chief genres of chant, different types of liturgical book, and plainchant notations. After an exposition of early medieval theoretical writing on plainchant, Hiley provides a historical survey that traces the constantly changing nature of the repertory. He also discusses important musicians and centers of composition. Copiously illustrated with over 200 musical examples, this book highlights the diversity of practice and richness of the chant repertory in the Middle Ages. It will be an indispensable introduction and reference source on this important music for many years to come.

Download or read book Writing Sounds in Carolingian Europe written by Susan Rankin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musical notation has not always existed: in the West, musical traditions have often depended on transmission from mouth to ear, and ear to mouth. Although the Ancient Greeks had a form of musical notation, it was not passed on to the medieval Latin West. This comprehensive study investigates the breadth of use of musical notation in Carolingian Europe, including many examples previously unknown in studies of notation, to deliver a crucial foundational model for the understanding of later Western notations. An overview of the study of neumatic notations from the French monastic scholar Dom Jean Mabillon (1632–1707) up to the present day precedes an examination of the function and potential of writing in support of a musical practice which continued to depend on trained memory. Later chapters examine passages of notation to reveal those ways in which scripts were shaped by contemporary rationalizations of musical sound. Finally, the new scripts are situated in the cultural and social contexts in which they emerged.
