Geistliche Macht der Musik oder weltliche Macht der geistlichen Musiker Cäcilianismus in Luxemburg

The spiritual power of music or secular power of spiritual musicians. Ceacilianism and Papism in Luxembourg
In my contribution, I will describe the ceacilianism in Luxembourg as a movement which, for the liturgy, not only wanted to restore what already had been considered survived for centuries in the history of music, but which was undoubtedly able to exercise power not only on composers of liturgical music, but also on spiritual dignitaries. My paper is based on my recent publication in two volumes on the correspondence of Luxembourg religious dignitaries and musicians with Franz Xaver Witt, one of the main protagonists of the movement.
