Abstract:

The Homeric Hymns are commonly taken to be religious poems in some general sense but they are often said to contrast with cult hymns in that the latter have a definite ritual function, whereas "literary" hymns do not. This paper argues that despite the difficulty in establishing a precise occasion of performance for the Homeric Hymns, we are nevertheless in a position to identify their ritual function: by intoning a Hymn of this kind, the singer achieves the presence of a god before participants in a public festival. The key mechanism by which the hymnist does this is the evocation of a god via the elaboration of a typical unit of traditional hymnic discourse, what I call the "theme of recognition (before revelation)." The pragmatic operation of narrative such as this is similar to the device known in the study of magical texts as the historiola, or short narrative that serves as a verbal model for a desired outcome in the patient's world. This kind of operation is called, in this paper, "symbolic action," a term borrowed from the rhetorician Kenneth Burke. The theme of recognition is traced in the fabric of the expansive Hymns (II-V, VII), and the paper further argues that an important generic marker in the Hymns, the greeting of the god (χχααííρρεϵ), discloses their pragmatic function, the hymnist's skillful deliverance of the god before his hearers.

Abstract:

For much of the twentieth century scholars tried to reconstruct various cultic hymns beneath the surface of NT texts. With the rise of rhetorical criticism the focus of research has shifted to the properties of epideictic rhetoric. Exegetes, therefore, often tend to contrast ‘encomia’ with ‘hymns’ or ‘psalms’. To avoid any shadow boxing one has to consider whichdescriptive languagewould fit best the texts. A brief examination of ancient hymnic traditions and their treatment in rhetoric demonstrates that while encomia interact strongly with hymns each genre has its own characteristics; hymns, whether in poetry or prose, consist especially of praiseofdivinities and are addressedtodivinities. Futureformgeschichtlicheanalysis has to distinguish carefully between ‘hymn’ (in a narrow sense), ‘hymnic praise’ and ‘encomion’ (which does not refer particularly to divine beings). In early Christian literature, as far as it relates to the textual surface, we find beside hymns to God only a few hymns directed to Christ. Nevertheless Christ's divine status is praised with rich hymnic rhetorical devices. This amazing tension corresponds exactly with what we call ‘Christological monotheism’.

Abstract:

A Theology of Revelations as imbedded in the hymns. This anicle is based on a twofold hypothesis, namely that the author of Revelation not only wrote the hymns in this book,' he also used them specifically to express his theology. The narrator utilises the hymnes to lay words in the mouths of the characters in order to establish a complete theology as well as christology. These hymns can even be used today to offer mankind real hope by calling one and all to the centre and true reason for our existence: Worship God!

Abstract:

Abstract Royal connotations are recognized throughout the book of Revelation, including chapter 5 where the Lamb is depicted upon the heavenly throne (5:6) receiving acts of obeisance and hymnic acclamations from the heavenly retinue (5:8-14). However, the extent to which the hymns themselves manifest royal ideology and discourse has been neglected. In what follows, the author explores various elements of the hymns in light of widespread patterns of kingship discourse in the ancient Mediterranean world, including especially the fact that the Lamb is praised alongside God and in terms otherwise used for God. The author then demonstrates that the hymnic claim that the Lamb has assumed the power to rule on account of his bloody death on the cross (5:9) constitutes an inversion of a popular motif that kings assumed power through violent military conquest.

Abstract:

Following the example of the Lord, who frequently sang hymns with his disciples, and encouraged to sing by St Paul, the early Christians praised God in music and song. The first Latin hymns were composed by Hilary of Poitiers. Their metrical complexity and content discouraged their liturgical use by the Church. Thus, St. Ambrose of Milan is considered the first „official” Latin hymnodist. He composed several hymns, still used in the Liturgy of the Hours, which were musicated by himself. These hymns come from the particular circumstances of the Arian controversy and derive, in the main, from the necessity of encouraging „orthodox” Christians in their defence of the Basilica Porziana in Milan. They were designed to guide their prayer at different times of the day. The Author’s text-critical analysis of two of these hymns – Aeterne rerum conditor, sung at dawn (in gallicinium) and Deus, creator omnium, sung at dusk as the lamps were lit (ad horam incensi) – well testifies to the literary and pastoral genius of the Bishop of Milan as he transforms the complex theological reflection of his time into poetry and music, while not only retaining the integrity of the depth of that reflection but also enhancing its aesthetic profile by drawing on a repertoire of images based on the parallelism of cosmic reality and human reality. St Ambrose’s corpus of hymns, together with his prose works, was admired both by his contemporaries and by successive generations. They promoted the flowering of a merciful Christocentricity which, according to the experts, is the most original and attractive feature of his poetry. As is clearly seen in the hymns received into the Divine Office, Ambrose’s singular ability effectively to stimulate the soul to prayer through a powerful and insuperable lyrical inspiration, is capable literally of transforming the daily hours into songs of praise, and explains Petrarch’s habit of rising during the night to sing hymns to the Lord.

Abstract:

Abstract Latin prose Panegyrics are a fourth-century product of Gallic rhetorical schools; they celebrate the emperor's virtues by widely employing structures and topoi commonly associated with epideictic theory and practice. This paper explores the presence of hymnic features within the corpus of the Latin Panegyrics. The following passages are investigated: 1) the celebration of Diocletian and Maximian as Iovius and Herculius in Panegyrics 10(2).1–6 and 11(3).3; 2) the praise of the Tiber and the hymn to the supreme God in the Panegyric dedicated to Constantine 12(9).18; 26; 3) the hymn to Greece in the Panegyric to Julian 3(11).8. The analysis shows how the panegyrists re-worked the laudatory material by adapting the style and topoi of hymns to gods to praise of the emperor.

Abstract:

Hymnische Dichtung bedarf der Inspiration. Hölderlin differenziert in seiner Feiertagshymne verschiedene Geschichtssituationen (Nacht, Dämmerung, Feiertag), Grade (Mangel, Gunst, Überwältigung) und Darstellungsweisen der Begeisterung. In die poetologische Reflexion werden auch Mittlerfiguren (Semele, Dionysos, Christus) und Vorbilder (Pindar, Klopstock) einbezogen. Das Gedicht wendet sich von der eschatologischen Inspiration ab und entwirft im Eingangsgleichnis den Gestus der Exploration, dem die Gesänge des Spätwerks folgen. Für diese ist es von grundlegender Bedeutung. Hymnic poetry needs inspiration. In the ›Feiertagshymne‹, Hölderlin differentiates several historical stages (night, dawn, holiday), degrees (deficiency, favour, rapture) and representations of inspiration or enthusiasm. The poetological reflexion includes mediating figures (Semele, Dionysos, Christus) and models (Pindar, Klopstock). While the poem turns away from eschatological inspiration it projects, by the simile at the beginning, a gesture of exploration which is followed up later by Hölderlin’s last hymns. For those this poem is of fundamental significance.

Abstract:

Let us begin, as is proper, with the gods rich in praise – or, more precisely, with The Gods Rich in Praise, one of three strikingly good monographs based on doctoral theses that will appear in this set of reviews. Christopher Metcalf examines the relations between early Greek poetry and the ancient Near East, focusing primarily on hymnic poetry. This type of poetry has multiple advantages: there is ample primary material, it displays formal conservatism, and there are demonstrable lines of translation and adaptation linking Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hittite texts. The Near Eastern material is presented in the first three chapters; four chapters examine early Greek poetry. Two formal aspects are selected for analysis (hymnic openings and negative predication), and two particular passages: the birth of Aphrodite in Theogony 195–206, and the mention of a dream interpreter in Iliad 1.62–4. In this last case, Metcalf acknowledges the possibility of transmission, while emphasizing the process of ‘continuous adaptation and reinterpretation’ (225) that lie behind the Homeric re-contextualization. In general, though, his detailed analyses tend to undermine the ‘argument by accumulation’ by which West and others have tried to demonstrate profound and extensive Eastern influence on early Greek poetry. Metcalf finds no evidence for formal influence: ‘in the case of hymns, Near Eastern influence on early Greek poetry was punctual (i.e. restricted to particular points) at the most, but certainly not pervasive’ (3). His carefully argued case deserves serious attention.

This dissertation intends to study the Christian Harp, one of the main national protestant hymnals, looking to identify it as instrument of expansion in Brazil s Pentecostalism mission in the period between 1910 and 1970, while appreciating the history and the creation of this liturgical book, intending to comprehend its usage as motivational element in the missionary practice of the Brazilian Pentecostal churches. It also consists of knowing the characteristics of construction of this compendium, passing through the presentation of its hymnists profiles and through the assiduous study of its musical structure and literary composition, while being aware of some important constitutive characteristics that are used, such as the theological concepts. Looking for a missiology concept that shows to be more correlated with the theological content of this hymnal and the referral of various examples of incitement to the evangelist practice found within its songs, which leads to the comprehension of the relevancy of the Christian Harp in the liturgical life of confessional pentecostal churches in Brazil, and its bold presence as an efficient developer of missionary practice of these faith communities.
Esta dissertação pretende estudar a Harpa Cristã, um dos principais hinários protestantes nacionais, buscando identificá-la como instrumento de expansão da missão no pentecostalismo do Brasil, no período comprendido entre os anos 1910 e 1970, apreciando a história e a formação deste livro litúrgico na pretensão de compreender sua utilização como elemento motivador para a prática missionária das igrejas pentecostais brasileiras. Consiste também em conhecer as características da construção deste compêndio, passando pela apresentação do perfil de seus hinistas e pelo estudo aplicado da sua estrutura musical e sua composição literária, conhecendo, ainda, algumas de suas importantes características constitutivas, como os conceitos teológicos de que faz uso em seu discurso. A procura por uma conceituação missiológica que se mostre mais identificada ao conteúdo teológico deste hinário e a indicação de vários exemplos de incentivo à prática evangelística encontrados em suas canções conduzem à compreensão da relevante importância da Harpa Cristã na vida litúrgica das igrejas de confissão pentecostal no Brasil e da sua marcante presença como eficiente agente fomentador do exercício missionário dessas comunidades de fé.

Abstract:

The poetry of Sumer, inscribed in cuneiform script on clay tablets dating from 2000 B.C., is considered humanity's earliest written literature. Hymns To Inanna is a three-movement, mixed media work based on adapted English translations from ancient Sumerian text. The text is sung by SATB choir and musically illustrated by harp, flutes, percussion, and computer-generated sound (on tape). My musical setting displays these hymns not as a reflection of antiquity but as a timeless expression of spiritual thought. Certain elements of the composition evoke associations with early culture and music. These components, however, are transformed or merged with musical characteristics of other eras, idioms, and forms thus representing a conceptual and stylistic "bridge" between past, present, and future.

Abstract:

La thèse est consacrée aux hymnes en prose (or. XXXVII-XLVI) d'Aelius Aristide, un orateur grec du IIe siècle ap. J. C. Elle consiste à jeter les bases d'une édition critique, en proposant une traduction (la première, en français, pour l'ensemble du corpus), des notes critiques et un commentaire. Le corpus ainsi fixé et interprété donne lieu à une étude synthétique développée. La Première Partie analyse le statut privilégié des hymnes en prose dans la carrière de l'orateur, la poéti-que qu'ils mettent en œuvre, leur ancrage dans la société gréco-romaine et la religiosité dont ils témoignent. Se présentant comme une recherche en rhétorique religieuse, l'enquête s'intéresse aussi aux rapports qu'entretient le sophiste hymnographe avec la poésie et la philosophie. Chaque texte, accompagné d'une traduction en regard, est précédé d'une notice (Deuxième Partie). Les notices présentent les circonstances de composition et de prononciation, la structure, l'esprit général et les carac-téristiques principales de chaque hymne, en précisant l'ancrage historique, institutionnel et civique de la perfor-mance oratoire. Fondé sur l'édition Keil (Berlin, 1898), le texte grec est révisé et libéré de conjectures difficile-ment justifiables. Le commentaire (Troisième Partie) veut répondre à cinq objectifs : 1) donner les moyens de situer les éta-pes de l'argumentation, en précisant notamment les topoi abordés ; 2) expliquer et commenter les citations dont l'orateur émaille sa prose ; 3) mettre en vedette certains effets de style et certaines finesses de l'expression ; 4) apporter des précisions permettant de comprendre les allusions à la mythologie et aux realia ; 5) discuter, le cas échéant, des interprétations proposées par les devanciers
This thesis deals with the hymns in prose (or. XXXVII-XLVI) of Aelius Aristides, a second century A. D. Greek orator. Its purpose is to provide the foundation for a critical edition of them, offering a translation into French (the first one ever for the whole corpus), as well as critical notices and commentary. So defined, the corpus will then be subjected to an extensive interpretative synthesis. The first part of the thesis analyses the favoured status of prose hymns in this orator's career, the poetics they put to work, the way they are firmly anchored in Greco-Roman culture and society and the religious attitude they reveal. This paper intends above all to investigate religious rhetorical practice, but it is also concerned with how the hymn sophist composer related to poetry and philosophy. In the second part, each piece comes with its translation on the opposite page, after a notice relating the circumstances of its composition, commenting on its pronunciation, structure, general spirit and main features; the notice also specifies the fundamental historical, institutional and political conditions of the individual oratory production. Based on the 1898 Keil's Berlin edition, the Greek text has been thoroughly revised and freed of many unjustifiable conjectures. A fivefold commentary, in the third part, aims at 1) describing the stages of the argumentation, while identifying the topoi that come into play; 2) explaining and commenting on the numerous quotations that enrich the orator's prose; 3) pointing out stylistic flourishes and linguistic niceties; 4) providing information about mythological allusions and contemporary realia; 5) discussing the opinions of former commentators

Abstract:

This thesis is a case study of early Greek poetry in comparison to the literature of the ancient Near East, especially Mesopotamia, based on a selection of hymns (or: songs in praise of gods) mainly in Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite and Greek. Chapters 1–3 present the core groups of primary sources from the ancient Near East: Old Babylonian Sumerian, Old Babylonian Akkadian, Hittite. The aim of these chapters is to analyse the main features of style and content of Sumerian and Akkadian hymnic poetry, and to show how certain compositions were translated and adapted beyond Mesopotamia (such as in Hittite). Chapter 4 contains introductory remarks on early Greek hymnic poetry accompanied by some initial comparative observations. On the basis of the primary sources presented in Chapters 1–4, the second half of the thesis investigates selected elements of form and content in a comparative perspective: hymnic openings (Chapter 5), negative predication (Chapter 6), the birth of Aphrodite in the Theogony of Hesiod (Chapter 7), and the origins and development of a phrase in Hittite prayers and the Iliad of Homer (Chapter 8). The conclusion of Chapters 4–6 is that, in terms of form and style, early Greek hymns were probably not indebted to ancient Near Eastern models. This contradicts some current thinking in Classical scholarship, according to which Near Eastern influence was pervasive in early Greek poetry in general. Chapters 7–8 argue that such influence may nevertheless be perceived in certain closely defined instances, particularly where supplementary evidence from other ancient sources is available, and where the extant sources permit a reconstruction of the process of translation and adaptation. Hence this thesis seeks to contribute to the current debate on early Greek and ancient Near Eastern literature with a detailed analysis of a selected group of primary sources.

Abstract:

This chapter examines ways in which the Hymn to Delos revisits the role of the king as a guard, set out in the first hymn. Here, Kallimachos adds nuance to his earlier characterization by distinguishing between the savior, Apollo, who protects and the tyrant, Hera, who oppresses those who are less powerful. As in the preceding hymns, Kallimachos de-emphasizes aspects of his narrative that could be seen as anti-dynastic, presenting in its place a more whimsical account. Explicitly paralleling the birth, kingship, and universal empire of Apollo and Ptolemy II Philadelphos, Kallimachos effectively replaces Zeus with a new paradigm of ideal kingship. This hymn’s embrace of a pan-Mediterranean stage mirrors, in a way, Philadelphos’ efforts to expand his kingdom into a vast, overseas empire during the first years of his reign. During this period, the honorific title Sōtēr, meaning “Savior,” once again gained currency within diplomatic discourse as a way for independent poleis to laud kings who had saved them from invading Gauls. Not only does Kallimachos incorporate this contemporary dynamic into his hymn, but he also maps the diplomatic traffic in praise onto the reciprocal charis dynamic that traditionally obtains between a hymnist and his honorand.

Abstract:

This chapter assesses how Kallimachos characterizes Zeus’ kingship and the structure of his political regime in the Hymn to Zeus. Depicting Zeus as a powerful figure who uses force to take what he wants, Kallimachos initially presents political power as derived from physical power. The poet’s rejection of the lottery myth as a plausible rationale for Zeus’ ascension rhetorically reinforces this notion, while at the same time activating a Homeric intertext in which Zeus and Poseidon engage in a debate over whether the Iliadic politics of Olympos is an absolute monarchy or an oligarchy. Siding with Zeus in favor of monarchy, the hymnist elaborates a political hierarchy that ultimately implicates the king in an oversight role over those beneath him. Refiguring the king as a guardian and judge, Kallimachos expands his earlier account of kingly power to embrace a wider variety of kingly virtues. Through allusions to the proemial hymns that open Hesiod’s Works and Days and Theogony, Kallimachos further refines his presentation of the king’s prerogatives as he negotiates a role for the poet in constituting and projecting the king’s authority.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Ereṣ Yisra’el, the birthplace of the piyyuṭ and the home of the anonymous poets (4th–6th c.) who generally followed biblical models — most notably the book of Psalms — in their liturgical writings. Some of their structural and stylistic innovations prompted the more imaginative creativity of their successors. Yose b. Yose (4th–5th c.), the first hymnist to be identified by name, expanded the musical devices of the hymn with strophic rhyming patterns, alliteration and assonance, and enhanced the hymn with legends from the rabbis. He employed figurative language in the form of metonymy — the emblematical use of words — and recontextualized biblical phrasing for assignment in the synagogue hymn. Yose was followed by the hymnography of Yannai, the stylistic master of the pattern poem and an innovator in synthetic parallelism, and Eleazar Qillir (or Qallir), the most prolific of the Ereṣ Yisra’el poets. The chapter then looks at the new era in Jewish hymnography which began with the decline of the Ereṣ Yisra’el centres of learning beginning with the Arab conquest in 634 and the corresponding emergence of academies in Babylonia.
