First Edition of the first exhaustive encyclopedia of music, “one of the most influential of all music treatises and specially notable among those of the Baroque period.” George J. Buelow in Grove Music OnlineDamschroder, pp. 139-140. Cortot, pp. 99-100. Hirsch I, 266. Gregory-Bartlett I, p. 135. Wolffheim I, 732. RISM BVI p. 449. An extraordinary undertaking by this Jesuit polymath, sometimes referred to as “the last Renaissance man,” author of approximately 40 works in a diversity of disciplines. The Musurgia was an attempt to present the entire body of musical knowledge up to Kircher’s time, and is particularly valuable for both its engraved plates of musical instruments and its inclusion of extensive musical examples, many of which are complete 16th and 17th century works chosen to illustrate various styles. The work is widely considered to have been a great success, with Kircher’s wide-ranging and insightful scholarship. “… Musurgia universalis, one of the really influential works of music theory, was drawn upon by almost every later German music theorist until well into the 18th century. … Much of Kircher’s contrapuntal doctrine derives from Zarlino, and in this and some other respects Musurgia universalis presents a synthesis of 16th- and 17th-century Italian and German compositional practices. A specifically German feature, however, is the description of the affective nature of music, in which Kircher brought the concept of musica pathetica into relation with the formal constructive elements of rhetorical doctrine. … His ideas concerning the classification of musical styles, based on sociological as well as national characteristics, are also original and important for the study of Baroque music. … Although he was apparently not a practising musician he was able to identify the best music composed and performed in his own (and earlier) times. In Musurgia universalis he quoted frequently extensive music examples from composers such as Agazzari, Gregorio Allegri, Carissimi, Froberger, Gesualdo, Kapsberger, Domenico Mazzocchi and Morales. Other aspects of his treatise that contribute to an understanding of 17th-century musical thought include the lengthy discussions of acoustics, musical instruments, … the history of music in ancient cultures and the therapeutic value of music.” George J. Buelow in Grove Music Online”Kircher attempted to compile in this book all the musical knowledge available in his day, making it the first exhaustive encyclopedia of music. For musicologists it has long been an invaluable source of information on baroque concepts of style and composition. Kircher wrote the Musurgia at the time of the great transition when the old Renaissance polyphony, still in use in the Church, was giving way to the new baroque style in secular music, most notably in opera. Kircher reveals an astounding knowledge and understanding of contemporary music and of this transition. Indeed, he gives the earliest account of the doctrine of the ‘affections’, the baroque idea that music should imitate emotions. … Kircher was aided in his research by the Italian composer Antonio Maria Abbatini, the maestro di cappella at the Lateran. Besides his interest in contemporary music theory, Kircher was also firmly established in classical music theory. Like many of his predecessors and contemporaries, he followed Boethius and emphasized the mathematics of music and its relationship to the harmony of the body, per Robert Fludd, and of the solar system, per Kepler… Kircher also discusses many of his own inventions, like the talking statue, the megaphone, and numerous mechanical music-makers. One of these inventions, a product of his mathematical concept of music, is an ingenious composing computer called an arca musarithmica or musurgia mechanica. The arca was a chest containing numbered rods, which the composer could move about and combine to produce melodic and rhythmic patterns. This mathematical method of composition would perhaps seem less odd to the student of modern music than it did to Kircher’s contemporaries.” Merrill: Athanasius Kircher … Jesuit Scholar: An Exhibition of His Works in the Harold B. Lee Library Collections at Brigham Young University.
