Music and the Spiritual since the French Revolution

 

Following the French Revolution, as institutionalized religion generally declined in Europe and beyond, many artists turned away from rigid Christian dogma to explore horizons of spirituality aimed at enhancing the mystical component of religious experience. Works of art were seen as products of divine inspiration and music, in particular, as an object of spiritual reverence. Composers were viewed as inhabiting godly powers and listeners described music as an object of spiritual contemplation.

Spirituality, Critical Reflection

and Professional Practice in an Uncertain World

 

Seventh International Conference of the

International Network for the Study of Spirituality

 
The first BASS (now INSS) conference in 2010 was entitled Spirituality in a Changing World. This was followed, in 2012, by Spirituality in a Fragmented World and, in 2014, by Spirituality in a Challenging World. The sequence of titles points to the direction of global change – and why the 2016 conference asked the question ‘Can Spirituality Transform our World?’. Revisiting those titles as we discussed what might be the most appropriate theme for the 2023 conference, we wanted to hold on to the notion of ‘transformation’ and the role of spirituality within that process, particularly within a world that seems to have changed dramatically since 2010.
