Wie kommt der Geist in geistliche Musik, Herr Lauster?

Fri, Jun 20, 2025, 21:45
Gewandhaus Leipzig, Großer Saal (Leipzig)
Ann-Katrin Zimmermann, Jörg Lauster
How does spirit enter sacred music, Mr. Lauster? Not only sacred works are ingenious, inspire, and uplift. We readily attribute "spirit" to musical phenomena, to the inexplicable in art and other areas of existence. When is this justified and when not? Is the invisible phenomenon of sound, music, particularly predestined as a dwelling place of spirit and spirits? Myths, not only from the Christian cultural sphere, suggest this. The Protestant theologian Jörg Lauster, holder of the Chair of Dogmatics, Philosophy of Religion, and Ecumenism in Munich and author of fundamental books on Christianity, has dedicated a "biography" to the Holy Spirit and traces the "enchantment of the world" through art and culture.
