Musical cultures in seventeenth-century Russia
Claudia R. Jensen presents the first unified study of musical culture in
the court and church of Muscovite Russia. Spanning the period from the installation
of Patriarch Iov in 1589 to the beginning of Peter the Great's reign in 1694, her
book offers detailed accounts of the celebratory musical performances for Russia's
first patriarch -- events that were important displays of Russian piety and power.
Jensen emphasizes music's varied roles in Muscovite society and the equally varied
opinions and influences surrounding it. In an attempt to demystify what has
previously been an enigma to Western readers, she paints a clear picture of the
dazzling splendor of musical performances and the ways in which 17th-century
Muscovites employed music for spiritual enlightenment as well as
entertainment.
