Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project studied the Long Parliament's policies on church music during the 1640s and analyzed them within political, religious and cultural contexts of early modern English history. It examined the liturgical reformations in the sixteenth century as well as the new ceremonialist ideas introduced by generations of conformist theologians in the early seventeenth century. A case study of disputes over the use of organs and other musical instruments at Durham Cathedral in the 1620s has identified many of the key issues that would resurface during the 1640s. The debates involved not only different theological viewpoints but also conflicting ideas about church government, and the contemporary understanding of the relationship between human affections and the faculty of hearing.
