| Abstract: | Throughout the ages church architecture and music united to create a unique combination of disciplines experienced through space and time: on the one hand, church buildings were planned with specially designed performance spaces to be occupied by musicians and their instruments; on the other hand, musical works were created by composers primarily to be heard in such designated locations within the church building - the performance spaces. While architecture is timeless and can be appreciated as a spatial whole, music can only be experienced over a period of time within the spatial whole. |
