Studies in the Visual Cultures of the Middle Ages(SVCMA 9) Resounding Images Medieval Intersections of Art, Music, and Sound S. Boynton, D. J. Reilly (eds.) IV+451 p., 201 b/w ill. + 54 colour ill., 451 mm, 2015 ISBN: 978-2-503-55437-2 Languages: English Hardback The publication is available. Retail price: EUR 195,00 This study brings together for the first time scholars of Christian, Islamic and Jewish art and music to reconstruct the complex intersection between art, architecture and sound in the medieval world. Case studies explore how ambient and programmatic sound, including chant and speech, and its opposite, silence, interacted with objects and the built environment to create the multisensory experiences that characterized medieval life. While sound is probably the most difficult component of the past to reconstruct, it was also the most pervasive, whether planned or unplanned, instrumental or vocal, occasional or ambient. Acoustics were central to the perception of performance; images in liturgical manuscripts were embedded in a context of song and ritual actions; and architecture provided both visual and spatial frameworks for music and sound. Resounding Images brings together specialists in the history of art, architecture, and music to explore the manifold roles of sound in the experience of medieval art. Moving beyond the field of musical iconography, the contributors reconsider the relationship between sound, space and image in the long Middle Ages. Susan Boynton is Professor of Historical Musicology at Columbia University and specializes in medieval western chant, liturgy and monasticism. Diane Reilly is Associate Professor of Art History at Indiana University, and is a specialist in manuscripts and medieval monastic reform. Their previous book was The Practice of the Bible in the Middle Ages (2011). Size: 451 x280 mm.
