The Music of the Ephrata Cloister (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Delving into the world of early American sacred music, this book explores the distinctive system of harmony and musical compositions developed within the Ephrata Cloister in the 18th century. The author's extensive research into obscure sources, including original manuscripts and scores, brings to light the musical practices of this unique religious community. The book examines the innovative framework for harmony devised by Conrad Beissel, the cloister's enigmatic leader, and its influence on the community's musical identity. Beissel's theories, set forth in a preface to the 1747 hymnbook titled Turtel Taube, are analyzed alongside translated musical scores, providing insights into the enigmatic composer's mind. The author also explores the broader context of Ephrata's music within the religious landscape of the time, highlighting its distinctiveness from both traditional church music and popular folk songs. Through the examination of hymns, choral songs, and instrumental pieces, the book sheds light on the spiritual and communal significance of music within the cloister's daily life. By unraveling the mysteries of Ephrata's musical system, this book offers a captivating glimpse into the intersection of music, religion, and community in early America. Its exploration of Beissel's unconventional approach to harmony, coupled with the rich tapestry of musical artifacts, invites readers to engage with the enduring legacy of a unique chapter in American musical history.
