Articles on masterpieces of European religious music, from the middle ages to Stravinsky and Tavener.

The late Wilfrid Mellers, who occupies a special place among music critics, described himself as a non-believer; but his preference for music that displays a sense of the numinous (in his words) will strike a chord with many wholisten to religious music nowadays, and who share his view that music that confronts first and last things is likely to offer more than music that evades them. The essays form five groups, which together offer a survey of religious music from around the first millennium to the beginning of the second, in the context of the difficult issues of what religious music is, and, for good measure, what is religion?
