Summary
Music, in its apparent immateriality, is often elevated to a position of closeness to God, an honour not bestowed upon most other phenomena. Using a hermeneutical method of orientation and taking into account works by Augustin, J.-J. Rousseau, and B.A. Zimmermann, Stefan Berg undertakes an analysis of the point where religion becomes relevant in the situation of music.
