"A Medium For Meeting God": C.S. Lewis And Music (Especially Wagner), John Macinnis
"A Medium For Meeting God": C.S. Lewis And Music (Especially Wagner), John Macinnis
Faculty Work Comprehensive List
This essay will survey Lewis’s writings and outline the development of his aesthetic ideas in relation to music, emphasizing his enjoyment of Wagner and explaining nuanced references to Wagner throughout Lewis’s works. Moreover, this essay will describe how Lewis’s ideas about God advanced in counterpoint to his ideas about music and how Lewis came to eventually conclude that music is a medium for meeting God. To conclude, I share ways in which Lewis’s ideas have influenced and strengthened my own teaching of Wagner in Music History and Literature classes.

Augustine’S De Musica In The 21st Century Music Classroom, John Macinnis
Augustine’S De Musica In The 21st Century Music Classroom, John Macinnis
Faculty Work Comprehensive List
Augustine’s De musica is all that remains of his ambitious plan to write a cycle of works describing each of the liberal arts in terms of Christian faith and is actually unfinished; whereas the six books extant today primarily examine rhythm, Augustine intended to write about melody also. The sixth book of De musica was better known in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages than the first five, and it takes up philosophical questions of aesthetics related to the proportionate ordering discernable throughout creation. After a brief introduction summarizing De musica’s content and its importance in subsequent Christian writings, my …

Looking Back, Listening Forward: A New Transcription Of Leoš Janáček’S Suite For Strings For Double Wind Quintet In The Harmoniemusik Tradition, Bradley Jay Miedema
Faculty Work Comprehensive List
The Harmoniemusik tradition has provided the wind chamber repertoire with a tremendous wealth of literature. Spanning the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, these transcriptions of large-scale works had a formative influence on the creative activity of subsequent composers. Most notable are the transcriptions of operas. Some include more than twenty movements and capture much of the drama and intensity of the stage versions. While the Viennese wind octet with pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons and horns became the standard instrumentation for the properly defined Harmonie, many pieces were also arranged and composed for ensembles ranging from six to …
"The Harmony Of All Things": Music, Soul, And Cosmos In The Writings Of John Scottus Eriugena, John Macinnis
"The Harmony Of All Things": Music, Soul, And Cosmos In The Writings Of John Scottus Eriugena, John Macinnis
Faculty Work Comprehensive List
In his prodigious philosophical work Periphyseon, the foremost intellectual of the ninth century, John Scottus Eriugena (ca. 800–877 CE), defined musica broadly and in a way that solicits interdisciplinary applications: “Music is the discipline discerning by the light of reason the harmony of all things in natural proportions which are either in motion or at rest.” In this dissertation, I trace resonances of the ars musica in Eriugena’s writings using selections from his three greatest works: Periphyseon, his glosses on Martianus Capella’s textbook De Nuptiis, and his commentary over Pseudo-Dionysius’s treatise on the Celestial Hierarchy of Angels. …
