Since the turn of the last century, the field of “Jesuit Studies” has gained significant traction. Exploration of this male Catholic order, who broke the mold of monastic mores in the 16th century, has increasingly focused on their changing relationship to music and sound in the early modern era. This seminar reflects the necessity of interdisciplinary perspectives for thinking about the history of the Jesuits and their role in the development of European sacred and secular musics and their exportation and adaptation throughout global missions between the 16th and 18th centuries. This seminar is centered on approaching the methods of musicology as a cultural discipline. You will learn how to critically engage with and interpret the varied meanings of early modern primary sources (scores, libretti, treatises, theological texts, etc.) as well as the ways in which scholars in various disciplines frame analyses of these materials. Each week is designed as a “thematic vignette” (rather than any kind of chronological survey) that will focus our discussion on the many social, cultural, anthropological, and theological aspects of music and its place in the early modern Society of Jesus (1540–1773). This seminar will involve a number of visits to our library collections on campus. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
