ALCM’s revised worship statement, “Called to Be a Living Voice,” tells us that “We simultaneously care for our congregations’ lo- cal musical heritage and tradition while being bridge builders to the ever-emerging songs of the church.

We flew through summer, now we are almost out of Fall. Where did the time go? We are in the season for being thankful for what we have, thankful for our health, thankful for our family and friends. Now it’s time for giving back to the people we love, give to the homeless, the needy and the people who just need a helping hand. At the time of this writing I just attended the Los Angeles Archdiocese Bishop Day.

    Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 10 Article 2 Issue 1 Current Issue: Volume 10, Issue 1 (2017) In coelo et in terra: Lutheran Theological Structure of the Troped Magnificats of Michael Praetorius’s Megalynodia Sionia Adrian D. J. Ross University of Toronto Recommended Citation Ross, Adrian D. J. () "In coelo et in terra: Lutheran Theological Structure of theT roped Magnificats of Michael Praetorius’s Megalynodia Sionia," Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology: Vol. 10: Iss. 1, Article 2. In coelo et in terra: Lutheran Theological Structure of the Troped Magnificats of Michael Praetorius’s Megalynodia Sionia Abstract Michael Praetorius (1571–1621) ranks among the most prolific German musical figures of the seventeenth century. Despite his stature, many of his works, especially his earlier collections, remain largely understudied and underperformed. This paper examines one such early collection, the Megalynodia Sionia, composed in 1602, focussing on the relationship between formal structure of its first three Magnificat settings and the Lutheran theological ideal of uniting the Word of God with music. Structurally, these three Magnificats are distinguished by their interpolation of German chorales within the Latin text. In order to understand his motivations and influences behind the use of this technique unique at the time of composition, the paper explores Praetorius’s religious surroundings in both the personal and civic realms, revealing a strong tradition of orthodox Lutheran theology. To understand the music in light of this religious context, certain orthodox Lutheran liturgical practices are examined, in particular the Vespers service and alternatim, a compositional technique using alternating performing forces which Praetorius used to unite the Latin and German texts.

    222 HARVARD SQUARE SYMPOSIUM | THE FUTURE OF KNOWLEDGE Musical Excellence: The Spiritual Panacea of the Future Cristian Caraman ABSTracT: The present paper presents The biblical reference points of music, The manifestations of Protestant music culture and The excellence in music. The Protestant music started with Luther, Calvin and continued with Bach, Handel, Brahms, asserting itself in Europe, North America, Africa, and recently in Asia. The Protestant culture, especially the musical one, has penetrated all aspects of civilization, being by far, through its representatives, one of the most powerful spiritual dimensions in human history. The future of a better world consists of a more educated and more sensible generation in which music can make people better. The values of the Protestant–Evangelical music can contribute to the human spiritual dimension and to the beauty of its culture and civilization. KEY WORDS: culture, music, religion, Bible, Protestantism.

It is the discipline within music composition that was grounded on the powerful relationships between music and text. The term musica poetica was first coined by the Lutheran musician/teacher Nicolaus Listenius in 1533 to distinguish it from musica theorica (the study of music as a mathematical science) and musica practica (applied theory dealing with aspects of performance), the two disciplines continuing from the Medieval education curriculum. By the middle of the sixteenth century, musica poetica began to be firmly established, alongside musica theorica and musica practica, as an independent branch of composition instruction, and was taught in the Latin schools of Lutheran Germany. As the treatises on musica poetica convey, the teaching of musica poetica was modelled on pedagogical principles of rhetoric that were taught in the humanistic curriculum of the Latin schools. In defining compositional procedures in relation to text-setting, these treatises borrowed or emulated terminologies from the discipline of classical rhetoric, and treated a musical composition as a work of oration, with an aesthetic aim of producing a work that could instruct, move and delight (docere, movere, delectare) the auditor.
