The Crucifixion in Music An Analytical Survey

Unique and diverse in its approach, The Crucifixion in Music examines how text was set to music during the musicological period from 1680 to 1800, focusing on the Crucifixus from the Credo of the Ordinary of the Roman Catholic Mass. Combining analytical theory and method to address musical rhetoric, semiotics, and theory, Jasmin Melissa Cameron follows the Crucifixion through many settings in baroque and classical music.

Jasmin Melissa Cameron is a lecturer in music at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland
