The sublime - that elusive encounter with overwhelming height,
power or limits - has been associated with music from the
early-modern rise of interest in the Longinian sublime to its
saturation of European culture in the later nineteenth century and
beyond. This volume offers a historically situated study of the
relationship between music, sound and the sublime. Together, the
authors distinguish between the different aesthetics of production,
representation and effect, while understanding these as often
mutually reinforcing approaches. They demonstrate music's strength
in playing out the sublime as transfer, transport and transmission
of power, allied to the persistent theme of destruction, deaths and
endings. The volume opens up two avenues for further research
suggested by the adjective 'sonorous': a wider spectrum of sounds
heard as sublime, and (especially for those outside musicology) a
more multifaceted idea of music as a cultural practice that shares
boundaries with other sounding phenomena.
