Накратко на български

Музикалните празненства в чест на светците и промените в лутеранските певчески книги между 1520 и 1648 г. показват как се е формирала религиозната идентичност в Европа. Анализът помага да се разбере как музикалните традиции са свързвали хората през различни граници и епохи.

Resounding Worship: Networks of Musical Devotion in the European Reformations, 1520-1648

The action, “Resounding Worship: Networks of Musical Devotion in the European Reformation, 1520-1648” (ReSound) explores how the musical celebration of saints reshaped religious identities and connected communities in early modern Europe. The Protestant Reformation shattered established networks of beliefs and practices. Reformers refashioned communities by revising pre-existent forms of worship and their traditional music, plainchant. Chant existed in a variety of local melodic traditions that both created and communicated communal identities. Its appropriation was crucial as reformers engaged with the most important religious influencers: the saints. Lutherans recast these heavenly intercessors as relatable examples who taught gendered ideals of the devout life. Plainchant played a double role in this interpretation: it provided continuity with the past, but its musical and textual revision made the rupture of the Reformation audible. The musical celebration of the saints did more than reshape identities and networks. It continued to connect people across the boundaries of space, time, and belief. This research provides a new perspective on the massive socio-political shifts the reshaped early modern Europe, and resound in our culture today. It demonstrates that the practices of the past are felt in the present and can inform the future. This Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) had three main aims: 1) to explore how religious identities were imposed through the saints’ celebrations in printed Lutheran chant books; (2) to examine how reformed identities were individualized in Tallinn; (3) to investigate how religious identities expressed in musical saints’ celebrations intersected across regions and religious groups. A further aim was 4) to support the career development of the researcher.

Цел на проекта

In times of socio-political upheaval, reconstructed religious identities reshape ideas, communities, and culture. In early modern Europe, the Reformation shattered networks of belief. Reformers rebuilt communities by revising traditional forms of worship and their music. Plainchant was integral to their efforts. It was inexorably tied to liturgies, and its localised melodies crafted and communicated religious identities. Chant was especially essential when confronting powerful religious influencers: the saints. Lutherans reinterpreted saints as accessible, gendered exemplars of the well-ordered protestant life. The use of plainchant provided a link with the past, but its textual and melodic revision emphasised the devotional divide. Despite the crucial role of musical saints’ cults in rebuilding religious identities and networks, the extent of their influence is unknown. This project employs an innovative transregional and interconfessional approach to investigate the imposition, individuation, and intersection of identities in liturgies shared by Lutherans and Catholics. Using evidence from sermons, literature, and art, the chanted celebrations will be reintegrated into worship. The promotion of idealised femininities and masculinities in text and music will be examined in the five major Lutheran chant compendia. The adoption and adaptation of these identities will be explored in imported and local liturgical books used in the multicultural, heterodox trade centre of Tallinn. The oppositional interrelation of reshaped Catholic and Lutheran identities will be analysed in the Feast of the Visitation, which both groups revised. This research will demonstrate how musical saints’ cults refashioned identities and connected communities after the Reformation. It will thus enhance and benefit interdisciplinary studies of identity, worship, and reform. It will also provide new insights on the socio-political and cultural changes that reshaped Europe and still resound today.
