What role did sacred music play in mediating Louis XIII's grip on
power in the early seventeenth century? How can a study of music as
'sounding liturgy' contribute to the wider discourse on absolutism
and 'the arts' in early modern France? Taking the scholarship of
the so-called 'ceremonialists' as a point of departure, Peter
Bennett engages with Weber's seminal formulation of power to
consider the contexts in which liturgy, music and ceremonial
legitimated the power of a king almost continuously engaged in
religious conflict. Numerous musical settings show that David, the
psalmist, musician, king and agent of the Holy Spirit, provided the
most enduring model of kingship; but in the final decade of his
life, as Louis dedicated the Kingdom to the Virgin Mary, the model
of 'Christ the King' became even more potent - a model reflected in
a flowering of musical publication and famous paintings by Vouet
and Champaigne.
