The interrelationship of music and theology is a burgeoning area of
scholarship in which conceptual issues have been explored by
musicologists and theologians including Jeremy Begbie, Quentin
Faulkner and Jon Michael Spencer. Their important work has opened
up opportunities for focussed, critical studies of the ways in
which music and theology can be seen to interact in specific
repertoires, genres, and institutions as well as the work of
particular composers, religious leaders and scholars. This
collection of essays explores such areas in relation to the
religious, musical and social history of nineteenth-century
Britain. The book does not simply present a history of sacred music
of the period, but examines the role of music in the diverse
religious life of a century that encompassed the Oxford Movement,
Catholic Emancipation, religious revivals involving many different
denominations, the production of several landmark hymnals and
greater legal recognition for religions other than Christianity.
The book therefore provides a valuable guide to the music of this
complex historical period.
