Claudia R. Jensen presents the first unified study of musical
culture in the court and church of Muscovite Russia. Spanning the
period from the installation of Patriarch Iov in 1589 to the
beginning of Peter the Great's reign in 1694, her book offers
detailed accounts of the celebratory musical performances for
Russia's first patriarch events that were important displays of
Russian piety and power. Jensen emphasizes music's varied roles in
Muscovite society and the equally varied opinions and influences
surrounding it. In an attempt to demystify what has previously been
an enigma to Western readers, she paints a clear picture of the
dazzling splendor of musical performances and the ways in which
17th-century Muscovites employed music for spiritual enlightenment
as well as entertainment."
