Music, Piety, and Propaganda: The Soundscapes of Counter-Reformation Bavaria. The New Cultural History of Music. New York: Oxford University Press, 2014. Music, Piety, and Propaganda explores the nature of sound as a powerful yet ambivalent force in the religious struggles that permeated Germany during the Counter-Reformation. Beyond a musicological treatment of composers, styles, and genres, the book examines how music, and more broadly sound itself, shaped the aural landscape of Bavaria as the duchy emerged as a militant Catholic bulwark. Sound—including bell-ringing, gunfire, and popular song, as well as cultivated polyphony—not only was deployed by Catholic secular and clerical elites to shape the religious identities of Bavarian subjects, but also carried the potential to challenge and undermine confessional boundaries. Music and Religious Identity in Counter-Reformation Augsburg, 1580–1630. St. Andrews Studies in Reformation History. Aldershot: Ashgate Publishing, 2004. By the late sixteenth century, Augsburg was one of the largest cities of the Holy Roman Empire, boasting an active cultural and musical life. Musical culture in Augsburg, however, unfolded against a backdrop of looming religious schism. The largest 'biconfessional' city in the Empire, Augsburg housed a Protestant majority and a Catholic minority, ruled by a city government divided between the two faiths. The period 1580-1630 saw a gradual widening of the divide between these groups, not least due to the assertion of Catholic identity through public devotions, spectacular processions, and pilgrimages to local shrines. This book explores the relationship between music and religious identity in Augsburg during this period, examining how 'Catholic' and 'Protestant' musical cultures negotiated with and gradually diverged from one another.
