The Nightingale of Wittenberg
|
Congregational music during worship owes its origin to Martin Luther,
who used it to proclaim his bedrock message of the Protestant
Reformation: God’s grace as the sole ingredient for salvation. This
elegant program explains how Luther changed the mode of public worship
by integrating music into the divine service so that all Christians—not
just the clergy—could express and celebrate their belief. It also
highlights Luther’s biography, from his time as a professor of Theology
in 1512 at Wittenberg University to his "love for the truth and…desire
to elucidate it" expressed in his 95 Theses five years later.
Excommunicated and under the ban of the Emperor, Luther’s love of music
in Protestant worship never waned. (27 minutes) |
