The influence of the Lutheran and Calvinist attitudes on Protestant liturgical music within sixteenth-century FranceTools Hughes, Rebecca (2025) The influence of the Lutheran and Calvinist attitudes on Protestant liturgical music within sixteenth-century France. MRes thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractThis thesis explores how liturgical music developed from the standard Roman Catholic liturgy to the Calvinist and Lutheran settings in France during the sixteenth century. It examines Martin Luther's exegetical approach towards music and embrace of art and music within worship, this combined with singing in the vernacular shows how Luther exemplifies the Normative Principle. This thesis also explores John Calvin's unyielding and stringent teachings and approach to liturgical music. It is this approach that resulted in congregational singing and Calvinist Monody which exemplify the Regulative Principle. Despite both theologians representing different approaches to liturgical music their impact on the Huguenots cannot be underestimated. It cannot be said whether the Normative or Regulative Principle had a greater influence across Europe throughout the centuries.
