Excerpt from Sixteen Lectures on the Causes, Principles, and Results, of the British Reformation Such being, briefly, the simple history of the present work, the author can only say, that he has done what he could, nu der the circumstances, to render his references satisfactory. For many of the passages, especially those taken from the an cient fathers, he has cited his former book on the Church of Rome, because it is more accessible than the originals them selves, and contains copious extracts from them, made with care and accuracy. For others, he has referred to a very use ful English work, Finch on the Roman controversy, which ought to be, if it is not, in general circulation. And he has made several quotations from the admirable Letters of Dr. Philpots to Butler, worthy, in every respect, of the reputation which the distinguished writer has long enjoyed, as bishop of Exeter. But for the substantial truth and correctness of the whole, the author considers himself directly responsible; and stands prepared to defend the ground which he has occupied in any form of equal controversy, excepting always the utterly inconclusive and objectionable one of newspaper discussion. On the propriety, the expediency, the right, and - more than all - the solemn duty of defending the principles of the Befor mation against the constant assaults of the Church of Rome, the author feels quite persuaded that there can be, amongst Protestant Christians, but one opinion. The legitimate modes of performing this duty, so far as the ministry of our Church are concerned, are three: by public disputation, by the pulpit.

'In the last two decades, the history of the Counter-Reformation has been stretched and re-shaped in numerous directions. Reflecting the variety and innovation that characterize studies of early modern Catholicism today, this volume incorporates topics as diverse as life cycle and community, science and the senses, the performing and visual arts, material objects and print culture, war and the state, sacred landscapes and urban structures. Moreover, it challenges the conventional chronological parameters of the Counter-Reformation and introduces the reader to the latest research on global Catholicism. The Ashgate Research Companion to the Counter-Reformation presents a comprehensive examination of recent scholarship on early modern Catholicism in its many guises. It examines how the Tridentine reforms inspired conflict and conversion, and evaluates lives and identities, spirituality, culture and religious change. This wide-ranging and original research guide is a unique resource for scholars and students of European and transnational history.

The home of Martin Luther for thirty six years and seat of the German Reformation, Wittenberg, Germany is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wittenberg has long been Protestant sacred space, but since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city and surrounding region have been developing their considerable cultural capital. Today, Wittenberg is host to two large-scale annual Luther-themed festivals, and is becoming a center for pilgrimage and heritage tourism. In a recent study, Charles Taylor notes that festivity is experiencing a renaissance as "one of the new forms of religion in our world." Festivals and pilgrimage routes are an integral part of contemporary religion and spirituality, and important cultural institutions in a globalized world. In Performing the Reformation, Stephenson offers a field-based case study of contemporary festivity and pilgrimage in the City of Luther. Welcome to Lutherland, where atheists dress up as monks and nuns for Luther's Wedding; conservative Lutherans work to sacralize the secular, carnival-like festivities; and medieval players, American Gospel singers, and Peruvian pan flute bands compete for the attention of the bustling crowds. Festivals and tourism in Wittenberg include a range of performative genres (parades and processions, liturgies and concerts, music and dance), cut across multiple cultural domains (religion, politics, economics), and effect connections and shifts among identities (religious, secular, American, German, traditional, postmodern). Incorporating visual methodologies and grounded in historical and social contexts, Stephenson provides an on-the-ground account of the annual Luther's Wedding Festival, the Reformation Day Festival, and Lutheran pilgrimage. He also brings his case study into dialogue with important methodological and theoretical issues informing the fields of ritual studies and performance studies. A model of interdisciplinary research, the book includes a DVD with over 2.5 hours of material, extending and animating textual accounts and interpretations.

By the late-sixteenth century, Augsburg was one of the largest cities of the Holy Roman Empire, boasting an active musical life involving the contributions of musicians like Jacobus de Kerle, Hans Leo Hassler, and Gregor Aichinger. This musical culture, however, unfolded against a backdrop of looming religious schism. From the mid-sixteenth century onward, Augsburg was the largest 'biconfessional' city in the Empire, housing a Protestant majority and a Catholic minority, ruled by a city government divided between the two faiths. The period 1580-1630 saw a gradual widening of the divide between these groups. The arrival of the Jesuits in the 1580s polarized the religious atmosphere and fueled the assertion of a Catholic identity, expressed in public devotional services, spectacular processions, and pilgrimages to local shrines. The Catholic music produced for these occasions both reflected and contributed to the religious divide. This book explores the relationship between music and religious identity in Augsburg during this period. How did 'Catholic' and 'Protestant' repertories diverge from one another? What was the impetus for this differentiation, and what effect did the circulation and performance of this music have on Augsburg's religious culture? These questions call for a new, cross-disciplinary approach to the music history of this era, one which moves beyond traditional accounts of the lives and works of composers, or histories of polyphonic genres. Using a wide variety of archival and musical documents, Alexander Fisher offers a holistic view of this musical landscape, examining aspects of composition, circulation, performance, and cultural meaning.

The purpose of this project was to examine the historical and applied performance aspects of music from the English Reformation, and to explore and explain the pedagogical methods of teaching this music to developing musicians in high school. I was responsible for organizing, programming, rehearsing, and conducting a recital featuring several works of sacred English, sacred Latin, and madrigal/secular songs. In addition, I was responsible for researching and presenting a lecture recital on the Tudor Dynasty, and the effect the monarchy had on the publication of music during 1517-1648. I developed a lecture recital based upon age appropriate choral pieces by Tudor composers Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, and Thomas Weelkes. The compositions chosen for the Honors Recital included: Tallis: Verily, Verily I Say Unto You Tallis: Hear the Voice and Prayer Tallis: If Ye Love Me Byrd: Dies Santificatus Byrd: Ave Verum Corpus Gibbons: The Silver Swan Weelkes: As Vesta Was from Latmos Hill Descending In order to adequately and accurately present music from specific time periods, one must closely examine the historical context of the time, what styles were appropriate, and, most importantly, why the music has remained significant enough to warrant performance in our current musical landscape and time period. The music of the English Reformation dates back to the late Renaissance period (1500-1650). This early music period was crucial in defining the musical style that we use today, and these musical compositions helped to define a distinct English style of choral music that remains highly regarded to this day. In conjunction with examining the musical style of select Renaissance composers, I discussed the compositional connection to the church, and how significantly this music was affected by the political changes concerning the Church of England and the British monarchy. In addition to the important historical aspects of the English Reformation, I examined the selected recital music from its standpoint in music history. The Renaissance period was the first period that truly defined styles of imitation and counterpoint, which is still the main method through which we conceptualize Western, diatonic music. By analyzing the historical components of each piece, a deeper comprehension of this Renaissance compositional style was gained; which transferred to the teaching of counterpoint, polyphony, and transparency through both the Latin and English choral texts in the rehearsal process. This in-depth musical understanding, embedded in the historical elements of the pieces themselves, informed both the rehearsal process and concert delivery of these works. Finally, I discussed the process and pedagogy of teaching Renaissance choral music. My goal is to find an effective way to shape rehearsals around the musical genres of English Renaissance music, while still educating the choir about how to appropriately sing in this style. The various musical genres chosen for this project ranged from sacred Mass, service pieces, anthems, and madrigals to demonstrate the application of polyphony, counterpoint, imitation, and the use of religious versus non-religious text on this style of music. Through understanding the historical and performance consideration of the period, as well as current best practices in choral music methods, I explored and developed a deeper sense of pedagogy in terms of teaching and performing music of this specific time period. This project was accomplished through intensive score study, conducting lessons, and rehearsal planning/sequencing. The preparations for accomplishing the methodology of this project consisted of developing a project time line and rehearsal schedule, weekly conducting lessons, the weekly choir rehearsals, the project culminated in the lecture recital focused on the pedagogy of sacred and secular music during the English Reformation, and its integration into the high school music classroom.
