Providing new insight into the Wesley family, the fundamental importance of music
in the development of Methodism, and the history of art music in Britain, Music and
the Wesleys examines more than 150 years of a rich music-making tradition in England.
John Wesley and his brother Charles, founders of the Methodist movement, considered
music to be a vital part of religion, while Charles's sons Charles and Samuel and
grandson Samuel Sebastian were among the most important English composers of their
time. This book explores the conflicts faced by the Wesleys but also celebrates their
triumphs: John's determination to elevate the singing of his flock; the poetry of
Charles's hymns and their musical treatment in both Britain and America; the controversial
family concerts by which Charles launched his sons on their careers; the prolific
output of Charles the younger; Samuel's range and rugged individuality as a composer;
the oracular boldness of Sebastian's religious music and its reception around the
English-speaking world. Exploring British concert life, sacred music forms, and hymnology,
the contributors analyze the political, cultural, and social history of the Wesleys'
enormous influence on English culture and religious practices [Publisher description]
