God in Sound and Silence

Theology

“Danielle Lynch’s God in Sound and Silence explores the revelatory potential of the embodied experience of music. Unpacking the notions of transcendence, sacramentality, and liminality she brings key theological figures into dialogue with current thought on culture and the contextual nature of musical meaning. This framework bears fruit in her insightful exploration of major pieces of music from the classical, romantic, and modern eras, with the Requiem as a golden thread.”
