SACRED ARCHITECTURE RITE AND MUSIC

From late antiquity to the late Middle Ages  rite and mass piety in the Byzantine Eastern and
Latin Western Church were determined by the intersection of liturgical and musical practice
with the sacred space. To what extent did the liturgy in the East and West influence the
architectural and pictorial design of church interiors as well as musical composition and
performance practice? How did liturgical texts and chants interact with mosaics and wall
paintings? And what impact did the room acoustics have on the spoken and sung word? The book
examines these and other questions in an interdisciplinary dialogue and discusses transfer
processes between Byzantium and the Euro-Mediterranean region from late antiquity to the Late
Middle Ages.  This Title is also Available as Open Access.
