Biblical motives. Plings of Scripture in classical music. Kandaurova L.

The World Flood and the Murder of Abel; Valtasara feast and worship of the Magi; The baptism of the Lord and the capture of Jericho - many of us are accustomed to recognize these stories, meeting them in the visual arts, and can arrange them in the chronology of biblical events. or not? This book is about music based on the main stories from the Old and New Testaments. The reader’s path will lie from the creation of the world to a terrible court, and in musical chronology - from Madrigal of an unknown author of the 16th century. To the words of the song of the song of King Solomon to the surreal vocal cycle of the XXI century, based on the American Spirichuels. The “biblical motives” of the music journalist Lyaly Kandaurova will allow you to recall the main stories of the Bible, and most importantly, to find out the music created on their basis by composers of six centuries. Among them are famous authors such as Stravinsky or Brahms, and those whom the reader may have to discover, for example, Johann Kunau or Gideon Klein.
