  Article:   THE TEXTS OF PSALMS OF DAVID IN CLASSICAL MUSICAL CREATIONS.

Authors:  ALEXANDRA BELIBOU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The classical period composers have lived the religious feeling just like their predecessors and successors, with all social and cultural changes that took place over the time. The religious feeling expressed through the texts of Psalms is a leitmotif in the universal musical history. In this paper I will talk about the musical pieces that have religious texts; the spiritual universe suggested by the composers lead to the human-religious face of the art – statement for the need of a hermeneutic approach in the music analysis. The cosmos given by the creators through art can be accessed only through a contextual understanding of the masterpieces, the Psalms of David being a guideline in the historic-comparative journey proposed by this paper.

Keywords: classical, psalms, religious, hermeneutics.
