Aria divina. La spiegazione della musica ecclesiastica di Johann Nikolaus Forkel’s (1749-1818)
Il presente articolo esplora le idee sulla musica liturgica (la sua recezione e i suoi effetti sull’assemblea) esposte da Johann Nikolaus Forkel (1749-1818) nell’introduzione al secondo volume della sua Allgemeine Geschichte der Musik (1801). Le idee di Forkel vengono situate nel contesto delle controversie sulla musica che hanno occupato la chiesa luterana dalla metà del Seicento, per mostrare che Forkel utilizzò le più recenti scoperte in materia di dinamica dei fluidi, acustica e neurologia al fine di offrire una reinterpretazione di alcune nozioni di base della teologia musicale luterana.
