Liturgical Cantata

(409 words)

Author(s): Petzoldt, Martin
[German Version] The effort to use religious cantatas in worship starts from the importance of music in worship that gained significance especially through Luther's reform of worship (Worship: I, 6.b): ¶ worship as a sacrifice of praise and a sin-offering. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the development in the Protestant territories and cities of Germany led to a rich musical environment that promoted especially the musica figuralis for the proprium. In fact, worship services were conducted as liturgical cantatas, without being understood as …

Cantata

(1,082 words)

Author(s): Petzoldt, Martin
[German Version] The term cantata now refers especially to the polyphonic church music with multiple movements as specified by J.S. Bach and whose text is based on ¶ the proprium of the Sundays and festival days of the church year. In contrast to the sonata (a “sounding” instrumental piece), the cantata is a choral piece that developed in the 17th century largely in Italy as secular music.

Musik, kirchliche

(6,120 words)

Author(s): Kremer, Joachim | Sparn, Walter | Fischer, Michael | Petzoldt, Martin | Totzke, Irenaeus
1. Allgemein Unter K. M. oder Kirchenmusik (= Km.) versteht man alles, was innerhalb christl. Kirchen an M. erklingt. Dieses rein funktionale Verständnis beschreibt keine musikal. Gattungen oder stilistischen Kennzeichen. Die Vielzahl musikal. Erscheinungsformen der kath. (s. u. 5.2.), evang. (s. u. 5.3.) und orth. Kirchen (s. u. 5.4.) steht einer absoluten und zeitlosen Beschreibung entgegen. Dies löst auch der Begriff »geistliche M.« nicht auf, weil diese nicht zwingend liturgischer Art sein muss. Der Begriff »religiöse M.« trägt seit der Überhöhung…

Using the term “spiritual music” makes matters no easier, for spiritual music need not be…
