Musicology

Tectum publishes musicological works of the highest quality. The titles in our music programme are characterised by high-quality typesetting, state-of-the-art design elements and high-quality binding. Renowned editors oversee our musicological series, including Prof. Dr. Matthias Herrmann, who publishes the “Schriften des Dresdner Kreuzchores” on behalf of the Dresdner Kreuzchor, or Prof. Dr. Claudia Bullerjahn, editor of the series “Systematische Musikwissenschaft und Musikkulturen der Gegenwart”. With the “Frankfurt Wagner Contexts”, the Richard Wagner Association Frankfurt am Main has expanded its scholarship programme, which previously focused on supporting young stage artists.

Frankfurter Wagner-Kontexte

Published by the Richard Wagner Society Frankfurt am Main

With the publication series Frankfurter Wagner-Kontexte, the Richard-Wagner-Verband Frankfurt am Main has expanded its scholarship programme, which has so far focused on supporting young stage artists. By awarding an annual publication scholarship, a musicological and high-quality contribution to Richard Wagner research is made. The range of topics is deliberately broad. The only requirement is that the primarily funded dissertations must guarantee a concrete context to the composer Richard Wagner.

Musik und Religion

Published by Prof. Dr. Dominik Höink, Prof. Dr. Irene Holzer and Prof. Dr. Isabel Laack
The series is dedicated to multiple relationships between music and religion, understood as broad heuristic umbrella terms. These include the human approach to sound as well as non-institutionalized religiosity and tensions with relational concepts such as secularity. The aim is to broaden the dominant focus in European academic discourse on Europe and Christian church music. The volumes in the series are oriented towards musicology and religious studies, are not limited historically or geographically and make use of a wide range of methods from cultural studies, media studies, social sciences and ethnology.
The series brings together theses (dissertations and habilitations), monographs and anthologies that deal with the outlined subject area in an interdisciplinary manner.

Schriften des Dresdner Kreuzchores

Published on behalf of the Dresdner Kreuzchor by Prof. Dr phil. habil. Matthias Herrmann

The writings of the Dresdner Kreuzchor are dedicated to one of the most traditional boys’ choirs of world renown. The Dresdner Kreuzchor is in its eighth century of existence and has helped write Dresden, Saxon and German musical history. Its sound culture has become a trademark and its repertoire reflects the great epochs of Western culture.
