| Zusammenfassung: | 'Mendelssohn, Goethe, and the Walpurgis Night' addresses tolerance and acceptance in the face of cultural, political, and religious strife. Its point of departure is the Walpurgis Night. The Night, also known as Beltane or May Eve, was supposedly an annual witches' Sabbath that centered around the Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz Mountains. After exploring how a notoriously pagan celebration came to be named after the Christian missionary St. Walpurgis (ca. 710-79), John Michael Cooper discusses the Night's treatments in several closely interwoven works by Goethe and Mendelssohn. His book situates those works in their immediate personal and professional contexts, as well as among treatments by a wide array of other artists, philosophers, and political thinkers, including Voltaire, Lessing, Shelley, Heine, Delacroix, and Berlioz. In an age of decisive political and religious conflict, Walpurgis Night became a heathen muse: a source of spiritual inspiration that was neither specifically Christian, nor Jewish, nor Muslim. And Mendelssohn's and Goethe's engagements with it offer new insights into its role in European cultural history, as well as into issues of political, religious, and social identity - and the relations between cultural groups - in today's world. John Michael Cooper is professor of music at Southwestern University and author of 'Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony' (Oxford University Press) |

Its point of departure is the Walpurgis Night. The Night, also known as Beltane or May Eve, was supposedly an annual witches' Sabbath that centered around the Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz Mountains. After exploring how a notoriously pagan celebration came to be named after the Christian missionary St. Walpurgis (ca. 710-79), John Michael Cooper discusses the Night's treatments in several closely interwoven works by Goethe and Mendelssohn. His book situates those works in their immediate personal and professional contexts, as well as among treatments by a wide array of other artists, philosophers, and political thinkers, including Voltaire, Lessing, Shelley, Heine, Delacroix, and Berlioz. In an age of decisive political and religious conflict, Walpurgis Night became a heathen muse: a source of spiritual inspiration that was neither specifically Christian, nor Jewish, nor Muslim. And Mendelssohn's and Goethe's engagements with it offer new insights into its role in European cultural history, as well as into issues of political, religious, and social identity - and the relations between cultural groups - in today's world. John Michael Cooper is professor of music at Southwestern University and author of 'Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony' (Oxford University Press) Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Felix / 1809-1847 / Erste Walpurgisnacht Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von / 1749-1832 / Faust Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von 1749-1832 Walpurgisnacht (DE-588)4071923-6 gnd rswk-swf Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Felix 1809-1847 Die erste Walpurgisnacht (DE-588)300232098 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1700-1850 gnd rswk-swf Other (Philosophy) Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 gnd rswk-swf Walpurgisnacht Motiv (DE-588)4761109-1 gnd rswk-swf Europa Europe / Religious life and customs Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 gnd rswk-swf Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 g Walpurgisnacht Motiv (DE-588)4761109-1 s Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 s Geschichte 1700-1850 z 1\p DE-604 Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Felix 1809-1847 Die erste Walpurgisnacht (DE-588)300232098 u 2\p DE-604 Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von 1749-1832 Walpurgisnacht (DE-588)4071923-6 u 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-58046-252-5 http://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/9781580466912/type/BOOK Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
