This book explores early reflections on music and its effects on
the mind and soul. Augustine is an obvious choice for such an
analysis, as his De Musica is the only treatise on music by a
Christian writer in the first five centuries AD; concerned not only
with poetic metre and rhythm, but also with an ontology of music.
Focusing on the six books of De Musica, the Confessions and the
Homilies on the Psalms, Carol Harrison argues that Augustine
establishes a psychology, ethics and aesthetics of musical
perception, which considered together form an effective theology of
music. For Augustine, music-both heard and performed- becomes the
means by which we can sense and participate in divine grace.
Composed by one of the world's foremost Augustine scholars, this
book is a concise and powerful exploration of Augustine's writing
and reflections on music and, by extension, the intimate
relationship between music, religion, and philosophy.
