Abstract:
AUGUSTINE’S – ABOUT MUSIC
St Augustine’s De musica summarises a stage in the thinking on „spiritual formation", which articulates the impact of music on the person through a typically neo-Platonic view of the time, in accordance with Christian values. In my research, I will primarily analyse St Augustine’s De musica and will attempt to explore the Augustinian conception of music. The conscious self-examination and education that emerges from the agostic pedagogy meets the rapture of singing, and the resulting guidelines can be seen as the first theoretical guidance of the ’Singing Church’. Thus, the spirit which, through the study of the first Christian musicological work, carries the pre-Christian insight and understanding can become the defining guiding thread of today's choral conducting practice.
