Book Description
"Whatever Mr. Bridges writes is worth reading; but in this paper he has done particularly valuable work. He has recognized, as modern critics in all the arts are more and more perceiving, that the basis of all criticism rests in the psychology of the emotions. Beginning with an analysis of the well-known words of St. Augustine with regard to the effect upon him of the music heard in the Portian basilica at Milan, he attempts to determine what classes of hymns express emotions suitable for congregational singing. We cannot give his conclusions here, nor can we follow him throughout his closely reasoned article, a large portion of which is, however, strictly practical, in accordance with its title. He has interesting things to say with regard to the admirable tunes supplied to the French Genevan Psalter by Bourgeois, which were spoiled in their transference to the well-known collection of Sternhold and Hopkins. He passes trained judgments upon the English tunes of the various epochs, and gives sensible advice to all interested in modern church music." -The Churchman "An admirable article in which we have read with especial pleasure." -The Sewanee Review "Mr. Bridges ha been well advise in reprinting the admirable paper which he contributed a couple of years ago to the Journal of Theological Studies. His plea for 'dignified melody' will meet with a response from all who are interested in the music of our Church services; the historical sketch with which he illustrates his position will show how much first-rate material is at the present time available for use." -The Oxford Magazine "Practical indeed. Should not be neglected by anyone connected with Church music." -The Bookman "Dr. Bridges points out the defects of modern hymn tunes, and modern church music and hymn singing, and lays down the principles in connection with the music of modern hymnody, that 'The music must express the words or sense; it should not attract too much attention to itself; it should be dignified; and its reason and use is to heighten religious emotion.'" -The Scottish Review

Book Description
Excerpt from A Practical Discourse on Some Principles of Hymn-Singing What St. Augustin says of the emotion which he felt on hearing the music in the Portian basilica at Milan in the year 386 has always seemed to me a good illustration of the relativity of musical expression; I mean how much more its ethical significance depends on the musical experience of the hearer, than on any special accomplishment or intrinsic development of the art.

Music, Morality and Social Reform in Nineteenth-Century Britain
Author: Paul WattPublisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 1837650810

Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
A pioneering work which delves into and reveals the links between music, moral instruction and social reform. This book discusses the role of music in programmes of personal improvement and social reform in nineteenth-century Britain. The pursuit of morality through music was designed not just to improve personal and communal character but to affect social change and transformation. The book examines the musical education of children, women and men through a variety of literature published for various educational settings including mechanics' institutes. It also considers the role of music in narratives of social programs and community-building projects that sought to promote utility, well-being and freedom from the strictures of Christianity as the dominant moral and cultural force. The first book to connect the threads between music, moral instruction and social reform across the educational life cycle in nineteenth-century Britain, it shows how these threads are found in unlikely places, such as games, manners books, economics treatises and short stories. It deftly illustrates the links between everyday life, popular culture and discourses of morality and social reform of the period.
