Augustine is an obvious choice for such an analysis, as his \u003ci\u003eDe Musica\u003c\/i\u003e is the only treatise on music by a Christian writer in the first five centuries AD; concerned not only with poetic metre and rhythm, but also with an ontology of music. Focusing on the six books of \u003ci\u003eDe Musica\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eConfessions\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eHomilies on the Psalms, \u003c\/i\u003e Carol Harrison argues that Augustine establishes a psychology, ethics and aesthetics of musical perception, which considered together form an effective theology of music. For Augustine, music-both heard and performed- becomes the means by which we can sense and participate in divine grace. Composed by one of the world's foremost Augustine scholars, this book is a concise and powerful exploration of Augustine's writing and reflections on music and, by extension, the intimate relationship between music, religion, and philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Harrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501326252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501326257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Carol Harrison","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064969490687,"sku":"9781501326257","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_888b57f0-868c-4e72-8b75-b514df2d6dc8.jpg?v=1685398661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-music-sense-affect-and-carol-harrison-9781501326257","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
