- Abstract
- From the end of the XVIth century onward, a revival of singing and music can be seen in all religious orders, in the everyday liturgy as well as in more significant celebrations. But how was this revival perceived by contemporaries? Is it possible to find in the treaties or the writings of intellectuals of the first modernity indications about the development of a very specific kind of music in the religious orders? This question will be examined in this talk, with regard to the jesuits as well as to other orders. We will focus more precisely on the French writings of the first decade of the 17th, looking into the accounts of Maillart, Mersenne and other authors of that period, who have written on musical practice in the religious orders.
