The Music of Christendom

Arts & Literature

“More than answering the questions that a curious Catholic might have about the role of the Faith in the history of Western music, Dr. Treacy guides the reader to discover the stories behind the most significant musicians and masterworks in music history. Chronicling the faith lives of composers, describing the influence of the liturgy and Catholic doctrine on compositions, and helping the reader hear musical monuments with intelligence and insight, Dr. Treacy's book is a helpful introduction to music history for the faithful who want to understand how Catholicism built an enduring legacy of musical beauty.”
