The Oxford Handbook of Music and Medievalism provides a snapshot of
the diverse ways in which medievalism-the retrospective immersion
in the images, sounds, narratives, and ideologies of the European
Middle Ages-powerfully transforms many of the varied musical
traditions of the last two centuries. Thirty-three chapters from an
international group of scholars explore topics ranging from the
representation of the Middle Ages in nineteenth-century opera to
medievalism in contemporary video game music, thereby connecting
disparate musical forms across typical musicological boundaries of
chronology and geography. While some chapters focus on key
medievalist works such as Orff's Carmina Burana or Peter Jackson's
Lord of the Rings films, others explore medievalism in the oeuvre
of a single composer (e.g. Richard Wagner or Arvo Part) or musical
group (e.g. Led Zeppelin). The topics of the individual chapters
include both well-known works such as John Boorman's film Excalibur
and also less familiar examples such as Eduard Lalo's Le Roi d'Ys.
The authors of the chapters approach their material from a wide
array of disciplinary perspectives, including historical
musicology, popular music studies, music theory, and film studies,
examining the intersections of medievalism with nationalism,
romanticism, ideology, nature, feminism, or spiritualism. Taken
together, the contents of the Handbook develop new critical
insights that venture outside traditional methodological
constraints and provide a capstone and point of departure for
future scholarship on music and medievalism.
