Book Description:
|
In the small list of scholarly works on music after World War II, there are few studies of the operatic repertory and none at all on the surprisingly large number of operas on religious themes. In this interdisciplinary study, Siglind Bruhn asks why this phenomenon occurred and investigates how contemporary composers express spiritual mysteries.
