Ă propos de ce livre
Scholarly writing on the music of Arvo PĂ€rt is situated primarily in the fields of musicology, cultural and media studies, and, more recently, in terms of theology/spirituality. Arvo PĂ€rt: Sounding the Sacred focuses on the representational dimensions of PĂ€rt's music (including the trope of silence), writing and listening past the fact that its storied effects and affects are carried first and foremost as vibrations through air, impressing themselves on the human body. In response, this ambitiously interdisciplinary volume asks: What of sound and materiality as embodiments of the sacred, as historically specific artifacts, and as elements of creation deeply linked to the human sensorium in PĂ€rt studies? In taking up these questions, the book "de-Platonizes" PĂ€rt studies by demystifying the notion of a single "PĂ€rt sound." It offers innovative, critical analyses of the historical contexts of PĂ€rt's experimentation, medievalism, and diverse creative work; it re-sounds the acoustic, theological, and representational grounds of silence in PĂ€rt's music; it listens with critical openness to the intersections of theology, sacred texts, and spirituality in PĂ€rt's music; and it positions sensing, performing bodies at the center of musical experience. Building on the conventional score-, biography-, and media-based approaches, this volume reframes PĂ€rt studies around the materiality of sound, its sacredness, and its embodied resonances within secular spaces.
