Couverture de l’ouvrage The Singing of the Strasbourg Protestants, 1523-1541
This book explores the part played by music, especially group singing, in the Protestant reforms in Strasbourg. It considers both ecclesiastical and ?popular? songs in the city, how both genres fitted into people?s lives during this time of strife and how the provision and dissemination of music affected the new ecclesiastical arrangement.

Introduction; The Church and the ‘wonderful art’ of music; Abolishing the mass; The move towards conformity; Song texts and their messages; The 1541 Gesangbuch and Strasbourg’s external influence; Conclusions; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.

Dr Daniel Trocmé-Latter is Fellow and Director of Studies in Music, Homerton College, Cambridge, UK.
