“…An attempt to say 'THANK YOU GOD' through our work, even as we do in our hearts and with our tongues». Teologen Jonathan Rowlands tolker den avsluttende satsen «Psalm» som en form for tungetale (Rowlands, 2019). Han viser til hvordan apostelen Paulus beskriver menighetens nådegaver i 1 Kor 12-14.…”

The chapter explores how singing destabilizes and re-establishes connections between sound, reference and reality. Three examples are examined: the aria Un’aura amorosa from Mozart’s Così fan tutte, the last song from Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder, In diesem Wetter, and the singing of the consecrating statement “This is my body, this is my blood” in the liturgy of the Eucharist in the Christian mass. The argument in the chapter is twofold. First, to sing “This is” pluralizes what “This is” refers to in the musical event. When sung, the statement can become a critique of the context, logic and values from which it originates, i.e., Christianity and atonement as a fundamental premise in Western notions of reality and social regulation, and instead the statement can be an effort to articulate how this reality ought to be. Second, to sing “This is” can be a critique against notions of musical immanence which regard sound as a realm of meaning entirely of its own. The referring event of the Eucharist exposes the limited adequacy in believing music to be a free form of artistic expression and critique of society and religion. Rather, singing “This is” might disclose how notions of immanent musical reality are just as confined, self-consuming, and meaningless as the criticized immanent logic of Christianity and atonement. The referring event of the sung “This is” might reveal how all music has referential, relational, and transcendental, i.e., liturgical characteristics.

The assumption that music can be experienced in a religious way in non-religious contexts leads to the problem of what we can call religious. Arguing that music can have a religious effect beyond traditional religious contexts raises the question of what makes an esthetic experience religious. In order to find an answer to this question, we have to explore what is religious about music itself. This chapter aims to point out the religious nature of music, arguing that religiosity can be understood as the experience of transcendence characterized by forgetting all that is individual, and by a sense of oneness and unity with all being. Transcending this human condition means entering a space beyond language, form and individuation. This illuminates the link between music and religion: In the western hemisphere, classical music has often been granted superior access to, and the ability to represent, transcendence. The experience of transcendence, for its part, refers to the relationship between life and death. Overcoming the human condition can be interpreted as a form of dying: The detachment from the ego, from the individuation, represents the detachment from common life itself which can be impressively illustrated in the thinking of Arthur Schopenhauer and Emil Cioran.
