About this product
Product Information
Present-day music studies conspicuously evade the question of religion in contemporary music. Although many composers address the issue in their work, as yet there have been few attempts to think through the structure of religious music as we hear it. The work of Olivier Messiaen is well known for its inclusion of religious themes and gestures. On the basis of a careful analysis of Messiaen's work, this book argues for a renewal of our thinking about religious music. Starting from an analysis of his 1960s oratorio La Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jsus-Christ, van Maas arranges a moderated dialogue between Messiaen and the music theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar, the phenomenology of revelation of Jean-Luc Marion, the rethinking of religion and technics in Jacques Derrida and Bernard Stiegler, and the Augustinian ruminations of Sren Kierkegaard and Jean-Franois Lyotard. Ultimately, this confrontation underscores the challenging yet deeply affirmative nature of Messiaen's music.

If the idea that religious music is a thing of the past helps you sleep better, Sander van Maas' provocative book should wake you up. Did you ever think that an ear could be circumcised? From the Bible to Messiaen and Derrida, he radically rethinks the relationships between ear and flesh. -----Peter Szendy, Université de Paris X Nanterre, A penetrating and thought-provoking exploration of what might be entailed by Messiaen's musical 'breakthrough to the beyond'. The Reinvention of Religious Music provides us with a wealth of fresh and original perspectives on this complex, endlessly fascinating musician., "In his eloquent and detailed study, van Maas discusses the theological meaning of Messiaen's music and the ways in which this unique sound world seeks to configure and even evangelize Messiaen's Christian thought. Maas presents an absorbing and provocative insight into Messiaen's faith in music that will enhance appreciation of this often misunderstood composer and his work." --Andrew Shenton, Boston University, A penetrating and thought-provoking exploration of what might be entailed by Messiaen's musical 'breakthrough to the beyond'.

Did you ever think that an ear could be circumcised? From the Bible to Messiaen and Derrida, he radically rethinks the relationships between ear and flesh."-Peter Szendy "An effective study of Messiaen needs to bring analytic rigor to both the musicological and theologial aspects of the composer. In The Reinvention of Religious Music, Sander van Maas takes on this daunting task and brings to bear his own erudition in a number of fields to provide a compelling account of the man and his work."-The Journal of Religion "A highly refreshing and valuable critque of religious music using the work of Messiaen as a frame of reference."-Vincent Benitez, Notes

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
