“…Not only had Luther learned how to play instruments and sing, but he was also knowledgeable about historical musical figures who composed or wrote about music, such as Josquin des Prez 7 and Augustine. 8 According to Walter Buszin, Luther's appreciation of both Senfl and Josquin is evidence of his musical intelligence. In addition, Buszin argues that because Luther wrote much about music, it is apparent that his views on the subject were not fleeting but rather knowledgeable.…”

“…Luther considered music to be a "gift" that should be used to praise God. 12 Luther's appreciation of the gift of music is well summarized by his remark, "Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise." 13 One factor that led to Luther's theology on music came from his belief in God as the Creator, determining his position that humans should practice creativity through art as a reflection of God.…”

“…14, and in his Epistle to the Colossians he insists that Christians appear before God with psalms and spiritual songs which emanate from the heart, in order that through these the Word of God and Christian doctrine may be preached, taught, and put into practice. 38 Luther not only modified the Catholic mass to include the vernacular, but he also wrote German hymns that became a major source for circulating the message of the Reformation. Luther recognized that hymns were beneficial in expanding the Reformation's impact because they "were able to reach people swiftly, regardless of their ability to read, their social standing or their actual location, and effortlessly crossed national, cultural, and socio-economic boundaries."…”

THE LUTHERAN IDENTITY OF JOSQUIN’SMISSA PANGE LINGUA: RENAISSANCE OF A RENAISSANCE MASS

Early Music History

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In sixteenth-century Germany, both Catholics and Lutherans circulated and performed Josquin’sMissa Pange lingua, even though its model, the hymnPange lingua, was associated with Eucharistic practices that were exclusively Catholic. This source-based study reveals how Lutherans selected theMissa Pange linguafor performance over other available masses and adapted it for their liturgical and pedagogical needs. Two printed sources of the mass offer perspectives on how Lutherans might have negotiated the polemical rituals and theology associated with theMissa Pange linguaalongside an aesthetic interest in the work. The intention of this study is not to de-emphasise the connection between theMissa Pange linguaand its borrowed melody or the initial Catholic identity of the mass. Rather, the Lutheran identity of theMissa Pange linguaprovides an additional layer to the early reception history of this work and a case study of the Lutheran appropriation of Catholic music.
