The Credo in Bach’s B-minor Mass: Who Is the “I” of “I Believe”
This article examines the way the musical structure of the Credo of Bach’s B-minor Mass qualifies the meaning both of the “I” of “I believe” and of the act of believing. As the Credo goes along, the “I” becomes increasingly inclusive, and those included become a community. Correlatively, “believing” comes to mean not only affirming the truth of the narrative of divine actions but also coming into a relationship both with the agent of these action…
Religious Dimensions of Beethoven’s Ode “To Joy”: What Happens When Music Rewrites the Text
Hearing a song, listeners can often pick up the syntactical relationships among its words only with great difficulty. The musical flow washes away most of the syntax, and the musical connections from one phrase to the next or one section to the next, sometimes even from one note to the next, are what connect the words to one another and give them meanings very different from their submerged syntactically fixed meanings. This article probes the mu…
Open Completeness: Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time”
Several of Messiaen’s compositional techniques are designed, he says, to “eliminate temporality.” They succeed. Still, in a variety of highly original and interesting ways, the piece also sustains temporality. Joining the elimination of temporality with its opposite in each movement puts listeners onto the infinitesimal interface of the temporal and the eternal. The undoing and the redoing of temporality happen so differently in the various movem…

John Cage and His Non-Music
Hymns: Music, Text, and Meaning
“Because simultaneous attention to words and music allows the music to organize the text and reveal the point which its words are being used to make, we are proposing that what we call a hymn is the resultant meaning of the sounds-as-words and the sounds-as-music. The musical-verbal phenomenon that performs a function in the church's worship is not the verbal meaning and the musical structure as two parallel or added quantities. It is the meaning…
