The book defines and describes the relationships between Chopin's
music and one of the oldest but still used monastic rules, the Rule
of Saint Benedict. Its goal is to construct bridges between music
and spirituality. Since these two realms both refer to human life,
the chapters of the book deal with current and existential issues
such as beginnings, authority, weakness, interactions, emotions and
others. The Rule of Saint Benedict and Chopin's music appear to
belong to the same stylistic category of human culture,
characterized by nobleness, moderation and high sensibility. In
this way two seemingly incompatible realities reveal their affinity
to each other, and the one may explain the other. The book is
situated at the boundary of musicology and theology. Its discourse
is illustrated by many examples, carefully chosen from Chopin's
music.
