Journal Article
Isaac of Antioch’s Organ and the Media of Musical Subjects
2018
Overview
This article examines an unstudied text by Isaac of Antioch (active latter half fifth century), in which he described a raucous festival in Antioch, filled with music and revelry. Isaac ruminated on the near-human, near-sentient qualities of musical instruments, and their subjecthood emerged strongly in relation to humans’ in his philosophical memra. At dawn one morning, Isaac was awakened by a water organ, which dictated to Isaac the psalmody for that morning. This article argues for Isaac’s rich exploration of relational mingling of humans, instruments and Psalms, that revealed a milieu of intersubjective richness before God.
