Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the unique musical language of ombra, this book delves into its role in evoking awe and terror, particularly in the works of Mozart during the eighteenth century. Clive McClelland examines a diverse array of theatrical and sacred music, linking these compositions to Edmund Burke's concept of the 'sublime of terror.' By doing so, he highlights the significance of ombra music within the broader context of eighteenth-century aesthetic theory.
