The Scottish composer Sir James MacMillan is one of the major
figures of contemporary music, with a world-wide reputation for his
modernist engagement with religious images and stories. Beginning
with a substantial foreword from the composer himself, this
collection of scholarly essays offers analytical, musicological,
and theological perspectives on a selection of MacMillan's musical
works. The volume includes a study of embodiment in MacMillan's
music; a theological study of his St Luke Passion; an examination
of the importance of lament in a selection of his works; a chapter
on the centrality of musical borrowing to MacMillan's practice; a
discussion of his liturgical music; and detailed analyses of other
works including The World's Ransoming and the seminal Seven Last
Words from the Cross. The chapters provide fresh insights on
MacMillan's musical world, his compositional practice, and his
relationship to modernity.
