The Moravians, or Bohemian Brethren, early Protestants who settled in Pennsylvania and North Carolina in the eighteenth century, brought a musical repertoire that included hymns, sacred vocal works accompanied by chamber orchestra, and instrumental music by the best-known European composers of the day. Moravian composers — mostly pastors and teachers trained in the styles and genres of the Haydn-Mozart era — crafted thousands of compositions for worship,and copied and collected thousands of instrumental works for recreation and instruction.
The book’s chapters examine sacred and secular works, both for instruments — including piano solo — and for voices. The Music of the Moravian Church demonstrates the varied roles that music played in one of America’s most distinctive ethno-cultural populations, and presents many distinctive pieces that performers and audiences continue to find rewarding.
Contributors: Alice M. Caldwell, C. Daniel Crews, Lou Carol Fix, Pauline M. Fox, Albert H. Frank, Nola Reed Knouse, Laurence Libin, Paul M. Peucker, and Jewel A. Smith.
