Abstract:
xxix, 356 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number.The rising popularity of the use of "contemporary music" for worship in Christian churches has created an ever-growing body of music professionals who, coming largely from a rock-influenced folk idiom, are often untrained in music theory. As the style of music has shifted from the traditional model, stemming from classical genres, to one dominated by popular music, many of these musicians see theory education as impractical or at least unneeded given their particular stylistic approach. In order to address this issue, a method must be developed, departing from standard methods of theory pedagogy to one employing selected concepts and applications pertaining particularly to the context the contemporary worship setting and presenting them in a manner immediately beneficial to these musicians' vocational considerations. This thesis serves as a possible solution by proposing such a method and comparing it to the approaches of three major theory methods on these terms.

Abstract:
Cette recherche définit un groupe social, les musiciens d'églises cathédrales et collégiales, dans un espace circonscrit (cinq diocèses, Blois, Chartres, Évreux, Orléans, Rouen) de la fin du XVIIe siècle à la Révolution. On s'attachera à dégager leurs conditions de vie (en interrogeant en particulier les notions de salariat, d'itinérance), mais aussi les réseaux qu'ils peuvent former face aux chanoines qui les emploient et au reste de la société. On cherchera enfin à décrire et comprendre la place que la société leur accorde dans le fonctionnement du culteThis research defines a social group, the musicians of cathedral and collegiate churches, in a circumscribed space (five dioceses, Blois, Chartres, Évreux, Orléans, Rouen) from the end of the 17th century to the Revolution. We will endeavor to identify their living conditions (by questioning in particular the notions of employment and itinerancy), but also the networks that they can form in relation to the canons who employ them and the rest of society. Finally, we will seek to describe and understand the place that society grants them in the functioning of worship

Abstract:
Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar as relações educativo-musicais presentes na Igreja Católica de Porto Alegre. A questão norteadora indaga como ocorreu a aprendizagem musical de pessoas que atuam neste contexto e como o ensino de música é desenvolvido. Para realizar esta pesquisa, optei pela abordagem qualitativa, realizando um estudo de caso. Para elaboração do referencial, foram consultados Souza (2004; 2014), Setton (2008; 2012) e Petitat (2011). De um total de 240 pessoas envolvidas com música na igreja, foram selecionadas doze que atuavam como professores e/ou formadores de música. Sobre a aprendizagem musical, identificaram-se diversos processos que não ocorrem fixos nem isolados, mas de maneira dinâmica, estando interligados inclusive com outras instâncias formativas. Descreveram-se: a aprendizagem que ocorria na prática (aprender fazendo); o aprender no grupo; a autoaprendizagem; o aprender em cursos, ensaios e festivais na igreja. Sobre o ensino e a atuação, analisaram-se concepções do ser músico na igreja, as diferenças entre o profissional remunerado e o voluntário; o ser professor e/ou formador. Foram pontuadas questões referentes à divulgação e à captação de alunos, ao local das aulas, às escolhas didáticas. Esta pesquisa contribui para a reflexão de como os processos de educação musical ocorrem na Igreja Católica e amplia o olhar sobre o aprender e o ensinar música.The purpose of this study was objective to investigate the educational-musical relations present in the Catholic church of Porto Alegre. The leading question was how the musical formation of people who work in this context occurred and how the musical teaching was executed. To accomplish this research, I opted for a qualitative approach, conducting a case study. The authors Souza (2004; 2014), Setton (2008; 2012) and Petitat (2011) were included in the framework. From a total of 240 people who worked with music in the Church, twelve were selected because they worked as teachers and/or music trainers. Several processes about musical learning were identified, which do not occur isolated and fixed, but in a dynamic and interconnected way, also in relation with other formative instances. It was possible to describe: the process of learning, which occurred in practice (to learn while doing); learning in group; self learning; learning in courses, rechearsals and church festivals. About the teaching and performance, it was possible to analyze conceptions of being a Church musician, the differences between the paid professional and the volunteer; and about being a teacher and/or trainer, highlighting questions related to disclosure and recruitment of pupils, class locations, and selection of didactic activities. This research contributes to the reflection about how these processes of musical education occur in the Catholic Church, thus increasing how to see learning and teaching music.

Abstract:
This study investigates the changing role of the organ within the Anglican Church of Port Elizabeth. In this study, the term The Church of England is used to refer to both the Anglican Church in England and the Anglican Church (Church of the Province) of Southern Africa. The organ has over many centuries evolved and risen to a place of dominance within the church. Many factors such as political influence, the increase in technology and the use of the organ within the liturgy of the church have contributed to this situation. Equally evident in practices in modern churches and societies is the diminished role of the organ. Again, many factors such as a change in church liturgy, a lack of organists and a negative bias towards the organ have influenced the decrease in the popularity and use of the instrument. In order to prove the rise and fall of the organ a quantitative study in the form of a literature review was employed to trace the organ‟s claim to power as well as the status it gained and to outline the reasons for its decline in power. To investigate this phenomenon, research was conducted in nine selected Anglican churches in Port Elizabeth, that have pipe organs and which were established by the British settlers, along the traditional lines of Anglican churches. The results are discussed and the narratives of the respondents recorded. Findings from the study show that the organ has lost its authoritative voice in the church. The organ is no longer the preferred and only instrument utilized for music and accompaniment within the average Anglican parish service. An urgent and careful response is needed to promote the organ in church services and in the music life of society.

Abstract:
The latter half of the 19th century was a time of immense change in Presbyterianism worldwide in respect of the role of music in worship. Within this period the long tradition of unaccompanied congregational psalmody gave way to the introduction of hymnody, instrumental music (initially provided by harmoniums and later by pipe organs) and choral music in the form of anthems. The Presbyterian Church of Victoria, formed in 1859 as a union of the Church of Scotland and the majority of the Free Presbyterian and the United Presbyterian churches and numerically the strongest branch of Presbyterianism in Australia, was to the forefront in embracing this tide of change. Beginning in 1861 with the proposal for the compilation of a colonial hymnbook, issues associated with musical repertoire and practice occupied a prominent place in discussions and decision making over the next 30 years. Between 1861 and 1901 hymnody was successfully introduced into church worship with the adoption of three hymnals in 1867, 1883 and 1898. Programs of music education were devised for the teaching of the new repertoire and for improving the standard of congregational singing. A hallmark tradition of Presbyterianism was overturned with the introduction of instruments into worship, initially as a support for congregational singing but in time as providers of purely instrumental music also. The profile of the choir changed dramatically. Making extensive use of primary sources, this study aims to document the process of change in Victoria between 1861 and 1901, exploring the rationales underlying decisions taken and historical factors facilitating change. Musical developments in Victoria are viewed in the context of those elsewhere, especially Scotland and of general changes in aesthetic taste.;The study concludes that the process of musical change shows the Presbyterian Church of Victoria to have been a forward-looking and well-endowed institution with the confidence to take initiatives independent of Scottish control. It is also concluded that changes in musical practice within the worship of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria reflect developments taking place in other denominations and the changing aesthetic tastes of the Victorian era.

Abstract:
Hymn singing is an integral part of both congregational and private worship for millions across the globe. While hymns have been the subject of research regarding history, origins, and cultural influence, there has been very little research regarding musical forms and harmonic structures found in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Protestant hymns. In discussing form, many theory texts describe the bulk of modern hymn music as “strophic.”
Using William Caplin’s text Classical Form (1998) as a model of analytical techniques and principles, this thesis examines the Mormon collection Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1985) and reveals that “strophic” is too narrow a label for an entire hymnal. Four formal models and one harmonic structure emerge. Each is identified by specific musical characteristics (illustrated using hymn examples), and together these five structures encompass a majority of the 341 hymns in the hymnal. Chapter 1 gives a brief historical review of Protestant hymn development and of the LDS hymnal. Chapter 2 discusses the analytical methods used in this study. Chapter 3 introduces the two smaller multi-phrase models: the “small-scale model” that manifests as any of several variations of an aaba phrase structure; and the “two-phrase model” that manifests as an extremely compact binary structure. Chapter 3 also introduces the “standard harmonic structure” that circumscribes expository, transitional, developmental, and closing/cadential harmonic functions across a single hymn. Chapter 4 introduces the two larger sectional models (made up of phrase groups): the “verse-chorus model” that manifests as a sectional binary form with distinctive musical characteristics in each half; and the “large-scale model” that encompasses all other sectional hymns. There are dozens of ways individual hymns can manifest the characteristics of one model or another, and much of the interest of studying hymns is found in discovering that within these five structures the hymns exhibit an abundance of structural variety, creativity, and interest. Chapter 5 examines ways that many hymns stretch the model boundaries, exhibit formal trends outside the model boundaries, or largely defy formal categorization based on the four models and the standard harmonic structure outlined in this study.

Abstract:
One of the many issues currently confronting the Church of England is the role of music in worship. It is not a new debate, but has been brought into sharper focus in recent years in the wake of liturgical change. After examining the fundamental issues of the debate, the author considers them in the context of the present day. Other current matters of concern will also be discussed. The effects of liturgical change are then considered. The discussion is then widened to include: - a review of current hymnals and psalters; - a survey of the courses and qualifications in church music available in Great Britain; - three case studies demonstrating the problems that can arise when clergy and church musicians are in conflict; - a review of surveys in church music undertaken since 1950. The main work comprises a detailed survey by questionnaire to the priest-in-charge and organist at almost half the churches in a large diocese (that of Oxford). This yields an overall picture of: - respondents' personal backgrounds and general attitudes; - respondents' perceptions, both objective and subjective, of the situation at their church, and of each other. From these varied strands are drawn certain conclusions for improving clergy-organist relationships, and suggestions for further research in the subject.

Abstract:
A survey was conducted to determine current conditions pertaining to church organ acquisitions and renovations in selected Roman Catholic parishes in the United States. A need exists to ascertain what problems are occurring with the process of organ acquisition, what solutions are possible, and how trends in organ acquisition are measuring up with the principles outlined by Vatican II.Addresses of organ companies were obtained from the current National Association of Pastoral Musician's Organ Builders Directory_ (1988). The 105 organ companies queried sent the researcher the addresses of 711 past and current Roman Catholic customers; each customer was sent a questionnaire. Fifty-eight percent of the contacts responded, supplying significant information from 362 parishes in the forty-eight contiguous United States. Information was obtained regarding: organ installation/renovation, selection, organ companies considered, console placement, parish size, age of church building, fund-raising, greatest difficulties experienced, points of advice based on experience, diocesan organ acquisition policies, acoustical concerns, and reasons for choosing a pipe or an electronic instrument.Reviews of related research and discussions of current publications, Roman Catholic church music legislation, new technologies used for accompanying church music, and differing opinions of church leaders supplement the survey research.Parishes reported their most difficult problems encountered during organ acquistion and offered their best points of advice for avoiding problems. The data include opinions regarding pipe and electronic instruments; organ companies frequently utilized; examples of sucessful organ console placement; the status and examples of diocesan written policies concerning keyboard accompaniment instruments; the benefits of combining fund-raising with parish education and communication; and the need for greater concern and education regarding acoustics.Case studies describe Roman parishes that achieved quality worship services after thorough preparations for their organ acquisition. Beginning parishes need the greatest amount of help for organ planning. Conclusions call for national-level attention and education about the organ acquisition process, and encourage dioceses to facilitate this goal with well-written policies.School of Music

Abstract:
The primary purpose of this research was to ascertain the attitudes and opinions of Church of God (Anderson, Indiana)* musicians regarding continuing education. The secondary purpose of the study was to determine the types of continuing education experiences that are needed by current church musicians who are employed by, or volunteer for Church of God congregations.An online survey was developed and made available to current musicians serving in Church of God congregations. One hundred and fourteen participants responded to the survey.The writer gathered data from participants regarding their personal information, details about their congregation, about their responsibilities with their congregations, their personal belief statements about their position with their congregation and their interest in and/or barriers to receiving further education.The initial hypotheses for this study were: 1) many who lead worship in Church of God congregations are not trained or educated in the skills and knowledge needed to serve effectively. 2) Many of these persons are not opposed to continued education in church music topics, but they do not know where to look for the training, and, in many cases, the type of educational resources they need do not exist.The results of the study indicated a great interest in receiving continuing education in the worship arts The study also indicated that time, money and family constraints prove to be significant obstacles in the pursuance of further education by music and worship leaders.The data gathered from the study indicated that the types of continuing educational experiences that musicians practicing in the Church, of God congregations need are many and varied. The writer concluded that those who would provide such experiences must take into consideration the constraints and barriers most of these leaders experience and provide practical and theological and philosophical elements.Data were presented in narrative form with the help of listings and figures when appropriate. Based on the data received, the writer gave recommendations for continuing educational opportunities.School of Music

Muir, Pauline E. "Sounds mega : musical discourse in Black majority churches in London." Thesis, Birkbeck (University of London), 2018. http://bbktheses.da.ulcc.ac.uk/363/.
Abstract:
This thesis explores congregational singing through the lens of the local and global in Black Majority Churches (BMCs) in the Royal London Borough of Greenwich, UK. The phenomenal growth of modern-day Pentecostalism is its ability to negotiate the local and the global, and a number of scholars agree that up-tempo, lively music is integral to the Black religious experience. However, there is a paucity of literature in the UK that analyses this area in a detailed and systematic manner. Methodologically, Nattiez's model of musical discourse is employed within a framework of critical discourse analysis to interrogate his 'esthesic', 'immanent' and 'poietic' elements, - that is the experience by the receivers, the music itself and the perspective of the producers - at New Wine Church, (NWC), Woolwich as the primary case study. The perspective of a multimodal analysis has uncovered multiple meaning-making processes within the context of a neo- Pentecostal megachurch with an emphasis on prosperity gospel. Firstly, the esthesic perspective found that the songs popular in the global Christian music industry fulfilled their role as Pentecostal liturgy, whilst simultaneously supporting and reinforcing the tenets of a prosperity gospel. Secondly, the immanent (musicological) analysis revealed simple, easy songs that had been altered through a process of African American 'Blackenizing'. Thirdly, the poietic, from the point of view of the producers, told the story of music in the church, signalling a shift in the musical identity. Further fieldwork confirmed the findings at NWC and similar processes in regard to an undermining and a silencing of African and Caribbean musical identities. The research concludes that the global Christian music industry and its supporting systems are not reflective of UK BMC congregations although these sounds dominated both the large and small churches in the research. These findings make problematic an understanding of the local and the global in congregational singing in BMCs and the privileging of white music forms with its concomitant economic benefits.

Sergeant, Matthew. "The churches of lalibela : erosion and encrustation as transformative musical processes." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2013. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/20885/.
Abstract:
This thesis outlines a new compositional grammar for my recent compositional practice as demonstrated by the collection of original musical work supplied in the accompanying folio of compositions, itself collectively titled the churches of lalibela. The grammar here outlined and explored presents developments in compositional procedure resulting from re-considering acts of musical transformation in terms of erosion and encrustation. Within the terminologies of this thesis, erosion and encrustation are understood as classes of compositional action (applied to musical materials) defined by operations of erasure/removal and addition/accrual respectively. Using examples from the visual arts as a mechanism for discussion, the thesis develops a wider conceptual understanding of these terms, allowing them to be considered no longer as opposites but as intertwined mechanisms mutually achieving a state of material distortion. A compositional scenario is thus derived in which the sonic surface of a given instance of a composition can be understood as being comprised of the debris resulting from such processes. To develop an understanding of this scenario, the thesis further explores ideas concerning ambiguity of material definition and the role such ambiguity can play in relation to material comparison within the experience of a musical discourse. As such, the grammar here derived can be said to exposit a preoccupation with comparison of material debris of different classes and/or degrees of distortion within the listening experience. The thesis also explores the nature and function of material consistency with regard to definition, illustrating the difference between two terms with a notion of consistency achieved through inconsistency.

"Religious musical performance as an articulation of transformation : a study of how the Tsonga Presbyterians of the Presbyterian Church of Mozambique negotiate their indigenous Tsonga and Swiss reformed church heritages." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1020836.
Abstract:
The Presbyterian Church of Mozambique (IPM) has its origins in the Swiss Mission and the European Reformed Church. An ethnomusicological study was conducted on the music of the IPM in order to uncover its musical influences. The musical influences were found to pertain to an indigenous Tsonga musical character, as well as to a Reformed Church musical tradition. By situating the discussion in this thesis within the perspective that music may reflect that which is not explicitly spoken about in words, the music of the IPM was shown to reflect the dual-heritage of the members of the IPM. Thus, this thesis attempts to answer the questions: how is the music of the IPM a reflection of the Tsonga Presbyterians’ dual-heritage?; and how do the Tsonga Presbyterians negotiate their dual-heritage? It was found that the Tsonga Presbyterians negotiate their dual-heritage by blending a Reformed Church performance style with a Tsonga one. For example, the music in the form of hymns and church songs, performed by church choirs, is shown to be didactic in nature where the lyrics are the most important aspect of the music. The didactic nature of the music is a principle of the Reformation carried forth in the music of the IPM. Although music serves to transmit the Christian message and is used as a means of praising the Christian God in the IPM, it also exists on the level in which the indigenous Tsonga heritage may be incorporated into the Christian lives of the members of the IPM without having an impact on the Reformed Church belief system. This is where the members have the freedom to blend their musical heritages. Music, in this instance, is shown to be a powerful tool by which the importance of an indigenous, and an appropriated, heritage may be garnered and observed.Looking to the historical aspects of the IPM, the music and language literacy education, provided by Swiss missionaries on the mission stations, was shown to have had an influence on Tsonga hymn composition. Along with the mobile phone, the observed decrease in music literacy at Antioka was situated within a discussion that looked at the influence of these aspects on the transmission, conservation and continuation of music in the IPM. Throughout the thesis, social transformation is referred to and the manner in which the music of the IPM is conserved or continued is an indication of how musical transformation may reflect social transformation.

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on a previously unexplored aspect of music-making in the English parish church during the 1760s to 1860s, namely its local development in response to inter-related episcopal, elite, clerical and economic influences. The historiography suggests ineffectual episcopal leadership and little gentry engagement with parochial church music-making during this period. By contrast, this study presents evidence of their influence, particularly during the late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries. Elite support for Sunday and charity schools was allied with a desire to improve congregational psalmody, and church organs and barrel-organs were given with this objective in mind. Gentry involvement with amateur military bands of music also influenced the instrumentation of choir-bands. These actions were mirrored by those further down the social scale, and formed part of a complex pattern of support for church music-making. This dissertation argues that methods adopted to improve congregational singing in one generation were reviled in the next. The suggestion that teaching charity school children to sing would result in a congregation of singing adults became a recurring theme, yet time and again it met with little success. Nineteenth-century reform of church music-making has often been presented as a clear-cut progression, with the replacement of choir-bands by a barrel-organ or harmonium, but this dissertation argues that these phases were sometimes parallel rather than sequential, with no inevitable outcome. Furthermore, new evidence reveals that nineteenth-century church rate disputes had a profound effect on church music-making, an area of research neglected in modern literature. Lack of available seating became a significant problem in parish churches owing to the often compulsory attendance of schoolchildren, which opens up another new area of research. This dissertation argues that attempts to reform music-making contributed to alterations in the church fabric long before ecclesiological reorderings, and had long-lasting repercussions.

This study deals with a master's research in the music education area in the subject field of music education and religion. The overall objective of the research is to understand the ways in which the musical training of the individuals surveyed is concretized at the First Presbyterian Church of João Pessoa - Paraiba. The chosen method was the case study in a qualitative approach, using as techniques for the collection of data: document sources, interviews and observations. The research has as theoretical basis the conception of musical practices as social practices supported in the music sociology (KRAMER, 2000; SOUZA, 2000, 2014, etc). The Church, locus of this investigation, has four musical groups: the Youth Choir, Camerata, the Coral Society and Band. From a total of eighty-one participants in these groups, twelve people were interviewed . The results reveal that the songs practices that take place in the Church offer different possibilities and strategies of musical learning, which are established starting from the relationship between the group members. It is a musical learning that is intertwined with the other spaces, such as family, school, friends, Internet and media. Regarding the value assigned to the musical experience, in the interviewees reports three points emerged : strengthening of interpersonal relations among group participants; consider that musical practices contribute to a rapprochement with the divine; the pleasure of communicating with yourself and with one another through music.

A pesquisa tem como fundamentação teórica a concepção de práticas musicais como práticas sociais apoiadas na sociologia da música (KRAMER, 2000; SOUZA, 2000, 2014, entre outros). A Igreja, locus dessa investigação, tem quatro grupos musicais: o Coral Jovem, a Camerata, a Sociedade Coral e a Banda. De um total de oitenta e um participantes desses grupos, foram entrevistados doze pessoas. Os resultados revelam que as práticas musicas que acontecem na Igreja oferecem diferentes possibilidades e estratégias de aprendizagens musicais, que se estabelecem a partir das relações entre os integrantes dos grupos. É uma aprendizagem musical que está imbricada com os outros espaços, como a família, escola, amigos, Internet e as mídias. Em relação ao valor atribuído à experiência musical, nos relatos dos sujeitos entrevistados emergiram três pontos: fortalecimento das relações interpessoais entre os participantes dos grupos; considerar que as práticas musicais contribuem para uma aproximação com o divino; o prazer de se comunicar consigo e com o outro através da música.

Abstract:
Church ministers often lack confidence in making musical choices, negotiating with musicians, or knowing how to make best use of often limited musical resources. Building on my experience as a part-time liturgy tutor for a diocesan ministry course, as training incumbent, and leader of workshop and seminars, and on investigations into the current provision of ministerial training, available resources, and the responses of new and experienced ministers from the Church of England and from the Lutheran Church, the outcome is a Musical Toolkit intended to support ministers. There are three chapters, preceded by an introduction which highlights the roots of this investigation in the everyday practice of public ministry, leading up to a Toolkit which ultimately as a web-based resource will offer ordained and licensed ministers of the Church of England readily accessible help and advice, as and when they need it, with options to pursue certain avenues of enquiry further. The Introduction sets the scene and introduces the context of the research and the questions to be addressed. Chapter 1 then addresses the ecclesiastical and social context of the study, covering how music has developed and is currently practised in the Church of England, aiming to identify what are the perceived and actual needs. Chapter 2 moves from personal experience to the research itself with new and experienced Church of England clergy, leading to chapter 3 which investigates current provision for liturgical training for ministers in the Church of England, and current literature available. Chapter 4 summarises the conclusions and outcomes of the investigations leading to the final outcome: the Musical Toolkit, which is now being adapted for online use, where it will be of most use to clergy and other ministers.

If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at open-help@bu.edu. Thank you.As a result of a perceived need to improve the music theory curricula for the preparation of church music leaders, this study compared two diverse approaches to the teaching of music theory for church music university students on achievement, attitudes, and self-preparedness. This current study was a quantitative, quasi-experimental research design. Participants (N = 286) were first-year music theory students drawn from the music theory programs at six universities. Both experimental and control groups were exposed to similar music theory content; however, the experimental group was taught music theory emphasizing a combination of Common Practice principles with pop/rock and jazz theory concepts, Nashville Number system, rhythm chart writing and reading, contemporary vocal harmony, and performance of theory concepts through in-class lab settings. In contrast, the control group was taught music theory using a traditional, conservatory-based music theory curriculum consisting of harmony practices presented in traditional four-part writing based exclusively on Common Practice Period principles. When the Liberty contemporary and Liberty traditional groups were compared, significant differences were revealed with the contemporary group scoring higher on posttest measures of music theory achievement (p < .05), attitude (p < .05), and self-preparedness (p < .001). When the Liberty contemporary group was compared with the five other universities, the ANCOVA results for the music theory achievement posttest scores revealed that students instructed in a contemporary music theory curriculum achieved higher test scores on traditional music theory concepts. ANOVA results of the attitude inventory posttest scores indicated that students instructed in a contemporary music theory curriculum possessed higher attitudinal scores (toward a diversity of music styles) as compared to students taught in a traditional music theory curriculum. Significant differences (p < .001) between groups on posttest self-preparedness scores also indicated that the participants instructed in the contemporary music theory curriculum felt more confident and self-prepared as prospective church music leaders than those participants instructed in a traditional music theory curriculum. This study supports the effectiveness of the use of contemporary church music styles as part of the musical education of future church music leaders.

Abstract:
German musicology has customarily situated a paradigm shift in musical aesthetics some time during the first half of the sixteenth century. This dissertation examines the suggestion that German Reformation theology inspired a modern musical aesthetic. In Part One, the existing narrative of relationship between theological and musical thought is tested and rejected. Chapter 1 analyses twentieth-century music historians' positive expectation of commensurability between Luther's theological ideas and the sixteenth-century concepts of the musical work and musical rhetoric, concluding that their positive expectation was dependent on a Germanocentric modernity narrative. Chapter 2 assesses Listenius' Musica (1537), the textbook in which the concepts of the musical work and musica poetica were expounded for the first time. I argue that, since Listenius' textbook was intended as a pedagogical tool, it is inappropriate to read his exposition of musica poetica and opus as if logical sentences on musical aesthetics. Part Two investigates the treatment of musica in the theology of early German Reformation disputants. Chapter 3 finds that Luther's early musical thought was borrowed from the late mediæval mystics, and resisted the influence of the Renaissance Platonists. Chapter 4 shows that, far from embracing humanist ideas of musical rhetoric, Luther's Reformed musical aesthetic became increasingly anti-rational and sceptical of music's relation to verbal meaning. Chapter 5 examines the discussions of music by the German Romanist polemicists. It finds that their music-aesthetic assertions were opportunistic attempts to situate the Lutherans outside the bounds of orthodoxy. The dissertation concludes that the discussions of music in early German Reformation texts ran counter to the general sixteenth-century trajectory towards a humanistic or modern aesthetic of music. It further argues that the aesthetic proposals of sixteenth-century German theologians should be taken seriously in the formation of our present-day picture of sixteenth-century musical thought.

Abstract:
The latter half of the 19th century was a time of immense change in Presbyterianism worldwide in respect of the role of music in worship. Within this period the long tradition of unaccompanied congregational psalmody gave way to the introduction of hymnody, instrumental music (initially provided by harmoniums and later by pipe organs) and choral music in the form of anthems. The Presbyterian Church of Victoria, formed in 1859 as a union of the Church of Scotland and the majority of the Free Presbyterian and the United Presbyterian churches and numerically the strongest branch of Presbyterianism in Australia, was to the forefront in embracing this tide of change. Beginning in 1861with the proposal for the compilation of a colonial hymnbook, issues associated with musical repertoire and practice occupied a prominent place in discussions and decision making over the next 30 years. Between 1861 and 1901 hymnody was successfully introduced into church worship with the adoption of three hymnals in 1867, 1883 and 1898. Programs of music education were devised for the teaching of the new repertoire and for improving the standard of congregational singing. A hallmark tradition of Presbyterianism was overturned with the introduction of instruments into worship, initially as a support for congregational singing but in time as providers of purely instrumental music also. The profile of the choir changed dramatically. Making extensive use of primary sources, this study aims to document the process of change in Victoria between 1861 and 1901, exploring the rationales underlying decisions taken and historical factors facilitating change. Musical developments in Victoria are viewed in the context of those elsewhere, especially Scotland and of general changes in aesthetic taste. The study concludes that the process of musical change shows the Presbyterian Church of Victoria to have been a forwardlooking and well-endowed institution with the confidence to take initiatives independent of Scottish control. It is also concluded that changes in musical practice within the worship of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria reflect developments taking place in other denominations and the changing aesthetic tastes of the Victorian era.

Abstract:
This thesis is a musical reconstruction of the primary services held on 13 August 1837, for the fiftieth anniversary of the dedication of the Moravian church at Lititz, Pennsylvania. The work includes general background on the Moravians and interprets information from contemporary sources to place the music in its accurate historical context. The edition of music comprises more than one half of the paper, and is taken from the original manuscript scores used. Included in the edition are five concerted anthems for choir and orchestra, and eighteen hymns from eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Moravian tunebooks. The special texts come from an original set of orders of service.

Abstract:
Antoni Gaudi was the architect of the Sagrada Familia from 1883 to 1926. Over this period of time he prepared the overall design and supervised the construction of the Nativity facade. One of Gaudi's main design objectives was to include tubular bells in the tall slender towers. It has been said that through his sound studies for these bells, Gaudi developed his musical sentiments most fully. Through the sound of bells, accompanied by song, he imagined a festive environment around the temple. These considerations might be seen as reflecting the overall spirit of the time, as Catalonia was in effect experiencing a cultural rebirth known as the Renaixenca . Originating with the call of the poets, this time of exuberant growth for Catalonia was one that was built upon the rebirth of language. As a result, language through poetry continued to be celebrated throughout the century, particularly through annual poetic contests called the Jocs Florals. This paper studies the facade of the Nativity as a expression of this culturally exuberant time by exploring how the Jocs Florals, and poetry in general, may have played a role in shaping its form and sound. The study also acknowledges the fact that Gaudi's inspiration for his design was derived from symbolism associated with the Catholic liturgy. The result is architecture that might be described as a union of religious and cultural symbolism, yet ultimately its festive expression is a poetic one. As such, the Sagrada Familia might be described as a celebration that is a call to gathering.

Sob o ponto de vista dos estudos com as linguagens, a História tem seus procedimentos equivalentes ao de uma Narrativa. Em um primeiro momento fui buscar os autores que estudaram as estruturas narrativas, entre eles Svetan Todorov e Roland Barthes. Minha busca não era a de estudar o pensamento estruturalista propriamente dito que, para a maioria dos autores terminou de dar frutos na década de 1970. Mas, achei importante uma das primeiras e mais marcadas afirmações desses pensadores, a de que uma grande narrativa é resultado de uma construção de pequenas narrativas. A estas Roland Barthes denominou de seqüências e mostrou que o nome dado a cada seqüência já predizia o desenho abstrato dos planos da significação narrativa. Imediatamente pensei ao contrário: que tal construir pequenas narrativas com o pouco material que estava aparecendo e deixar o que o conjunto delas apresentasse a fisionomia procurada, fosse por coordenação, fosse por subordinação? E da mesma época, fui rever o livro O Pensamento Selvagem de Lévi-Straus. Valeu-me, e bastante, o cohecimento do método bricolagem, que este autor acredita ser capaz de dar conta de compor fisionomias de sociedades ou grupos descnhecidos. Achei, também, que aqui estava um outro recurso, não mais para análises, mas para criações, como hoje fazem alguns artistas plásticos e, mesmo alguns historiadores. E a fundamentação histórica? Não sabia, por mim mesmo, como realizá-la, pois estou afastado dos grandes debates históricos. Mas se sabia o que não sabia, sabia, e muito bem, o que não queria: as preocupações básicas e as vezes, absolutizadas, da historiografia positivista.

My basic objective was to write a possible history of a community's musical activity: The United Presbyterian Church of Sao Paulo. Under the point of view of the studies with the languages, the history has its equivalent procedures of a Narrative. In a first moment I took in the authors that studied the structures of the narratives, among them Svetan Todorov and Roland Barthes. My search was not the one of studyng thhe thought structuralist that, for most of the authors it finished giving results in the decade of 1970. But, I found important one, of the firsts and more remarkable statements from those thinkers, the one that a great narratives is resulted of a construction of small narratives. To these, Roland Barthes denominated sequences, and is showed that the name of each sequence already predicted the apsstract drawing of the plans of the significance of the narrative. Immediately I thought the oppositive: what such to build small narratives with the littlel material that was appearing and to let thar whole think showed the physiognomy, was it for coordination or subordination? I went to review the book O Pensamento Selvagem by Lévi-Straus, wrote in the same decade. It was worth me, and plenty, the knowledge of the method bricolage, that this author believes to be canaple to give bill of composing physkognomies of societies or ignored goups. I found, also, that here it was another resource, not more for analyses, but for creations, as they make some platic artists today and, same, some historians. And the historial fundamentals? I didn't know, by myself, how to accomplish it, because I am moved away of the great historical debates. But it was known what I didn't know, knew, and very well what I didn't want: the basic concerns and the times, absolutely, of the historiography positivism. I determined, then, to base me in statements... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Abstract:
John Blow (1649-1708) was among the first group of boys pressed into the service of King Charles II, following the decade of Puritan rule. Blow would make compositional efforts as early as 1664 and, at the age of nineteen, began to assume professional positions within the London musical establishment, ultimately becoming, along with his pupil and colleague, Henry Purcell, London's foremost musician. Restoration sacred music is generally thought of in connection with the stile nuovo which, for the first time, came to be a fully accepted practice among English musicians for the church. But the English sacred polyphonic art, little threatened by England's largely political Reformation, embodied sufficient flexibility as to allow it to absorb new ideas, thereby remaining vital well into the seventeenth century. Preserved from decisive Italian influences by the Interregnum, the English sacred polyphonic tradition awoke at the Restoration full of potential for continuing creative activity. In addition to studying Blow's polyphonic compositions, including the transcription of several not available in modern edition, this paper seeks to address the unique nature of the English polyphonic tradition which allowed it to retain its vitality throughout the seventeenth century, while other polyphonic traditions were succumbing to the ossifying influences of the stile antico concept. Identification of the Continental stile antico through pertinent treatises and scores revealed a marked distinction between its application and the English polyphonic art as seen in the work of John Blow. In the end, the peculiar nature of Restoration polyphony is seen to be derived from a number of factors, among them, the continuation of liturgical ceremonial within the independent English church, the flexibility of the English polyphonic medium with regard to new musical developments, and the interruption of England's cathedral music tradition just as Italian influence was beginning to be felt in liturgical music. The sacred polyphony of John Blow represents the last great flowering of the English polyphonic tradition, with all of its idiosyncracies, in a lively, as yet unfettered style.

The present work investigates aspects related to the use of sacred music in the liturgy of the cults of historic Baptist and Presbyterian churches in the city of Montes Claros - MG. The specific objective is to check the current reality of musical activities in these churches, identifying the conceptions and practices that underpin their cultic musical activities. This is an emerging theme that needs of more systematic studies that allow understand the musical activities in the referred churches, from the action of pastors, and "praise ministries" and where are founded their cultic musical practices. It is relevant cast a critical eye on the reality of musical activities of these churches, and that allows knowing the reality of other historic churches in the field of cultic music. It is understood that this proposed of study suits the prospects of scientific production at present and covers problems and specific situations of socio-cultural and political contexts of the studied churches. The working hypothesis was: the process of musical Pentecostalization disliturgied the sacred music used in cults of the historical Protestant churches by influence of gospel musical market. The research universe consists of two historic Baptist churches and two Presbyterian churches, and the research was divided into two phases: on the first, it was held an initial survey of how many Baptist and Presbyterian historic churches exist in Montes Claros, and made up the choose of four of them to carry out the fieldwork research. In the second phase, priority was given to the particular reality of each church selected, with respect to their musical activities. The work was developed from bibliographical research, documentary research, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, participant observation, photographic records and in audio and video of the cultic musical activities in each one of the four selected churches. The obtained results point to a supremacy of using of the called gospel music in relation to official hymnody of each denomination, the print media being replaced by electronic media and significant changes in cultic liturgy of each church
O presente trabalho se propõe a investigar aspectos relacionados à utilização da música sacra na liturgia dos cultos das igrejas batistas e presbiterianas históricas na cidade de Montes Claros – MG. O objetivo específico é verificar a atual realidade das atividades musicais nessas igrejas, identificando as concepções e as práticas que alicerçam suas atividades musicais cúlticas. Esse é um tema emergente que carece de mais estudos sistemáticos, os quais possibilitem compreendê-lo para se discutir as perspectivas acerca das atividades musicais nas referidas igrejas, a partir da atuação dos pastores, e dos “ministérios de louvor” para se entender em qual ponto se alicerça e se constitui na base de suas práticas musicais cúlticas. Compreende-se que será de grande relevância, nesse sentido, lançar um olhar crítico sobre a realidade das atividades musicais dessas igrejas, o que também possibilitará se conhecer a realidade das atividades musicais das demais igrejas históricas. Assim, entende-se que esta proposta de estudo adéqua-se às perspectivas da produção científica na atualidade, sendo capaz de abranger problemas e situações específicas dos contextos sociocultural e político nos quais se está inserido. Nesse contexto, a hipótese levantada foi: o processo de pentecostalização musical des-liturgizou a música sacra utilizada nos cultos das igrejas históricas em função do mercado musical gospel. O universo da pesquisa é constituído de duas igrejas batistas históricas e de duas igrejas presbiterianas históricas, e a pesquisa será dividida em duas fases: Na primeira, o trabalho constará de um levantamento inicial de quantas igrejas batistas e presbiterianas históricas existem em Montes Claros, com a escolha de quatro igrejas para a realização da pesquisa de campo. Na segunda fase, dar-se-á enfoque qualitativo à realidade particular de cada igreja, no que diz respeito às suas atividades musicais, selecionando uma amostragem que, delimitada quantitativamente, contemple igrejas centrais e de diferentes bairros, apontados a partir do levantamento inicial. O trabalho será desenvolvido a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas, aplicação de questionários, observação participante, registros fotográficos e em áudio e vídeo das atividades musicais cúlticas em cada igreja. Os resultados obtidos apontam para uma supremacia da utilização da música gospel em relação a hinódia oficial de cada denominação, a mídia impressa sendo substituída pela mídia eletrônica e modificações significativas na liturgia cúltica de cada igreja, entre a tradição e a inovação

Este estudo tem por finalidade descrever metodologicamente a prática mistagógica dos séculos IV e V d.C. e discutir a recente sistematização e aplicação do método mistagógico à formação dos ministérios litúrgico-musicais da Igreja Católica Romana. No ano de 1963, promulgava-se a Sacrosanctum Concilium (Constituição sobre a Sagrada Liturgia) do Concílio Ecumênico Vaticano II (1962-1965) que, sustentada pelo Movimento Litúrgico, representava o retorno às fontes bíblicas e patrísticas da fase de estruturação da liturgia por volta do século IV. Atualmente, a formação continua sendo um dos maiores desafios à consolidação do processo de renovação litúrgica desencadeado pela reforma do Vaticano II. A reforma teve implicações sobre a liturgia e também sobre o modelo eclesial a ser assumido pelas novas gerações. Quanto ao uso do método mistagógico, dois autores, Mazza (1996) e Buyst (2006), serão largamente focalizados devido à especificidade de sua aproximação ao objeto de estudo. O primeiro expõe a sistemática catequético-mistagógica dos séculos IV e V; e a segunda aplica o método mistagógico ao estudo da música ritual com escopo formativo mais evidenciado. O propósito da pesquisa foi sendo consolidado a partir da leitura, tradução e interpretação de variados autores para se avançar de rudimentos conceituais à apropriação teórica e metodológica do termo e prática da mistagogia. Deste modo, o percurso assumido procurou evidenciar o deslocamento do discurso normativo e prescritivo, próprio dos documentos eclesiais, ao discurso reflexivo e propositivo sobre o processo de renovação da música ritual no Brasil a partir de produções litúrgico-musicais pós-conciliares.

The purpose of this study is describe methodologically the mystagogic practice of 4th and 5th centuries, and discuss new approaches and application on mystagogic method related to liturgical musical formation of the ministries of Roman Catholic Church. In 1963 was promulgated the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium) of Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) that held on Liturgical Movement represented the return to biblical and patristic sources of the 4th century. Nowadays, formation continues being one of the main challenges to consolidation of the liturgical renewal process started at Second Vatican reformation. This reformation had effect on the liturgy and ecclesial model. Two authors Mazza (1996) and Buyst (2006) were focused on due to particular approach to mystagogic method. The first demonstrates the catechetical and mystagogic systematic from 4th and 5th; the second applies mystagogic method to the study of ritual music with a clearly formative scope. The purpose of this research was developed through reading, translation and interpretation of various authors to reach the concept and to get a theoretical and methodological understanding of terminology and practice of mystagogy. Therefore, the way assumed had revealed a changing from normative and prescriptive enunciation to a reflexive and rational enunciation related to renewal process of ritual music in Brazil and post-Second Vatican Council liturgical musical productions. This research proposes mystagogic method in the study of ritual music as a strategy that conjugates different areas of knowledge. Finally, also identify how the formation was theorized and performed in the liturgical renewal process to reach the method.

Abstract:
En 1857, Joseph d'Ortigue constatait que les maîtrises des cathédrales en France, en activité au cours de la première moitié du XIXe siècle, ne pourraient jamais prétendre au rôle qu'elles avaient rempli pendant des siècles avant leur fermeture en 1791. Malgré le soutien dans un premier temps des pouvoirs publics, la tentative de refondation souhaitée pour chaque cathédrale, s'est en effet soldée par un échec : l'Église catholique n'a pas réussi à redonner au culte l'éclat musical et cantoral qu'il revêtait avant la Révolution. À travers l'étude de la maîtrise du Mans de 1801 à 1860, « une des premières rétablies et une des plus florissantes », cette thèse analyse les principales causes de cet échec inévitable : l'incertitude des ressources financières, l'évolution des mentalités en matière de religion, la formation incomplète des nouvelles générations de musiciens d'Église, le changement des goûts musicaux. Dans les années 1830-40, la liturgie et sa musique sont l'objet de vives polémiques où s’affrontent les partisans d'une musique expressive et les militants d'une restauration du plain-chant. Le renouveau musical dans les cathédrales, et notamment au Mans, ne trouve finalement son accomplissement qu'après une réforme de la liturgie qui définit la musique la plus appropriée au culte. Avec le retour de la liturgie romaine et du chant grégorien, plus de cinquante ans d’efforts auront été nécessaires pour que les cérémonies religieuses gagnent en cohérence ce qu’elles ont perdu en éclatIn 1857, Joseph d’Ortigue saw that the music schools attached to French cathedrals in the first half of the 19th century could never play the part they had had for centuries, until they were closed in 1791. Though they were at first officially aided, all the cathedrals failed when they tried to revive their musical activity : the catholic church did not succeed in giving back to their celebrations the brilliance of music and song that had been theirs before the Revolution. Studying the Le Mans music school from 1801 to 1860 – it was « one of the first to be re-estblished and one of the most flourishing » –, this thesis analyses the main causes of this inevitable failure: the uncertainty of financial resources, the evolution of habits of thought as regarded religion, the incomplete training of the new generation of church musicians, as well as the changes in musical tastes. In the years 1830-1840, the liturgy and its music are hotly argued about by those in favour of an expressive music and those advocating a restoration of plain chant. The musical revival in cathedrals – notably in Le Mans – was eventually achieved only after a reform of the liturgy defining which music is most suitable for divine worship. With the return of the Roman liturgy and Gregorian chant, over fifty years were necessary for religious ceremonies to gain in coherency what they had lost in brilliance

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.The broader purpose of this study is to investigate musical change in relation to theological and liturgical change. The particular focus of this thesis is to explore the link between liturgial revision and musical development in the Diocese of Cape Town, South Africa, between 1964 and 2010. This doctorate is situated in musicology but also embraces features of liturgical theology. Le Huray's account of musical change during the Reformation, in Music and the Reformation in England 1549-1660 (Cambridge, 1978), served as a model on which to view contemporary developments. Pass' definitions of the role of music in church (kerygmatic, koinoniac and leitourgic), contained in Music and the Church (Nashville, 1989), have also been used as a basis for the study. Additionally, the author developed a series of terms to distinguish the relationship between musical and liturgical change.

Resumo: Este estudo tem por finalidade descrever metodologicamente a prática mistagógica dos séculos IV e V d.C. e discutir a recente sistematização e aplicação do método mistagógico à formação dos ministérios litúrgico-musicais da Igreja Católica Romana. No ano de 1963, promulgava-se a Sacrosanctum Concilium (Constituição sobre a Sagrada Liturgia) do Concílio Ecumênico Vaticano II (1962-1965) que, sustentada pelo Movimento Litúrgico, representava o retorno às fontes bíblicas e patrísticas da fase de estruturação da liturgia por volta do século IV. Atualmente, a formação continua sendo um dos maiores desafios à consolidação do processo de renovação litúrgica desencadeado pela reforma do Vaticano II. A reforma teve implicações sobre a liturgia e também sobre o modelo eclesial a ser assumido pelas novas gerações. Quanto ao uso do método mistagógico, dois autores, Mazza (1996) e Buyst (2006), serão largamente focalizados devido à especificidade de sua aproximação ao objeto de estudo. O primeiro expõe a sistemática catequético-mistagógica dos séculos IV e V; e a segunda aplica o método mistagógico ao estudo da música ritual com escopo formativo mais evidenciado. O propósito da pesquisa foi sendo consolidado a partir da leitura, tradução e interpretação de variados autores para se avançar de rudimentos conceituais à apropriação teórica e metodológica do termo e prática da mistagogia. Deste modo, o percurso assumido procurou evidenciar o deslocamento do discurso normativo e prescritivo, próprio dos documentos eclesiais, ao discurso reflexivo e propositivo sobre o processo de renovação da música ritual no Brasil a partir de produções litúrgico-musicais pós-conciliares. Esta pesquisa, ao propor o método mistagógico no estudo da música ritual como estratégia que articula diferentes áreas do conhecimento, procura identificar ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is describe methodologically the mystagogic practice of 4th and 5th centuries, and discuss new approaches and application on mystagogic method related to liturgical musical formation of the ministries of Roman Catholic Church. In 1963 was promulgated the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium) of Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) that held on Liturgical Movement represented the return to biblical and patristic sources of the 4th century. Nowadays, formation continues being one of the main challenges to consolidation of the liturgical renewal process started at Second Vatican reformation. This reformation had effect on the liturgy and ecclesial model. Two authors Mazza (1996) and Buyst (2006) were focused on due to particular approach to mystagogic method. The first demonstrates the catechetical and mystagogic systematic from 4th and 5th; the second applies mystagogic method to the study of ritual music with a clearly formative scope. The purpose of this research was developed through reading, translation and interpretation of various authors to reach the concept and to get a theoretical and methodological understanding of terminology and practice of mystagogy. Therefore, the way assumed had revealed a changing from normative and prescriptive enunciation to a reflexive and rational enunciation related to renewal process of ritual music in Brazil and post-Second Vatican Council liturgical musical productions. This research proposes mystagogic method in the study of ritual music as a strategy that conjugates different areas of knowledge. Finally, also identify how the formation was theorized and performed in the liturgical renewal process to reach the method.

Esta pesquisa foi estruturada a partir de três problemas: por que os resgates do passado e determinados esquecimentos intencionais que ocorreram na Igreja Católica, no Brasil, entre 1903 e 2013 foram eficientes para sua manutenção? O repertório musical composto e/ou executado no Brasil neste período contribuiu para este processo ou o refletiu? Quais os limites da eficiência deste processo? A fim de respondê-los, recorreu-se à legislação eclesiástica sobre música sacra, publicações e decisões de organismos eclesiásticos especializados no tema, além de fontes musicais recolhidas a diversos acervos. Foi realizada pesquisa de campo em cerca de quinhentas instituições, com pesquisa de fontes em mais de cento e setenta delas. Os dados obtidos foram analisados a partir dos referenciais de memória, esquecimento, tradição e identidade coletiva em Joël Candau, Jacques Le Goff, Pierre Nora, Michael Pollak, dentre outros, e recorrendo às teorias de sistemas sociais complexos em Niklas Luhmann e Walter Buckley – com a adaptação dos tipos weberianos de controle à abordagem sistêmica por este último. Na primeira metade do século XX, a restauração musical católica e a Romanização determinaram uma clara passagem do tipo weberiano tradicional ao racionallegal, implicando uma adequação de ferramentas analíticas: ao invés de modelos pré- composicionais, faz mais sentido pensar o repertório produzido neste período a partir da noção de controle normativo – que se estendeu a aspectos composicionais, interpretativos e relacionais. Com o Concílio Vaticano II, as relações de controle se modificaram, bem como as metas musicais do sistema religioso. Na América Latina, a partir da década de 1970, um discurso dualista em relação ao passado pretendeu o esquecimento das práticas musicais pré- conciliares, buscando inspiração na música popular e em memórias do catolicismo tradicional, e ensejando o desenvolvimento de um repertório brasileiro, associado à canção de protesto. Com João Paulo II e Bento XVI, estas metas musicais passaram por um refreamento, decorrente da política adotada por estes pontífices em relação à Teologia da Libertação. Com isto, outras memórias foram resgatadas com vistas à ênfase do Concílio Vaticano II enquanto continuidade. Os resultados da tese apontam para a coerência entre as memórias musicais resgatadas por especialistas e acadêmicos e os discursos que determinaram as metas do sistema religioso como um todo, enquanto fator de legitimação destas metas. Esta adequação legitimou as metas musicais por meio da tradição e revelou a eficiência do processo. Por outro lado, foi possível observar os limites deste controle: memórias musicais locais, a manutenção de identidades coletivas e de manifestações religiosas tradicionais, necessidades práticas, memórias afetivas, interesses políticos (identidade nacional), econômicos, e principalmente, a capacidade de negociação dos indivíduos e grupos locais em relação às metas do sistema religioso.
This research builds upon three issues: why the restoration of the past and certain intentional forgetfulness that occurred in Catholic Church in Brazil between 1903 and 2013 were efficient for its maintenance? The musical repertoire composed and/or performed in Brazil in this period contributed for this process or reflected it? Which limits the effectiveness of this process? To answer them, resorted to ecclesiastic legislation on sacred music, publications and decisions from ecclesiastic agencies specialized on the subject, as well musical sources preserved in several collections. Field work was conducted in approximately five hundred institutions, with research of sources in more than one hundred and seventy of them. Data were analyzed from the benchmarks of memory, forgetfulness and collective identity in Joël Candau, Jacques Le Goff, Pierre Nora, Michael Pollak, and others, and through the theory of the complex social systems in Niklas Luhmann and Walter Buckley – with the adaptation of Weberian types of control to the systemic approach by the later. In the first half of the twentieth century, the Catholic Musical Restoration and the Romanization determined a clear passage from the traditional Weberian type to the rational-legal, implying an adaptation of analytical tools: instead of pre-compositional models, it makes more sense to think the repertoire produced in this period from the normative control notion – that extended the compositional, interpretative and relational aspects. With Second Vatican Council, the control relationships were changed as well as the musical targets of the religious system. In Latin America, from the 1970s, a dualist discourse over the past meant the forgetfulness of the precounciliar musical practices, seeking inspiration in popular music and traditional Catholicism memories, and allowing for the development of a Brazilian repertoire, associated to the protest song. With John Paul II and Benedict XVI, these musical targets were diminished, due to the policy adopted by these pontiffs in relation to Liberation Theology. In this way, other memories were restored to emphasize the Second Vatican Council as continuity. The thesis results point to the coherency between the musical memories restored by specialists and academics and the discourses that determined the targets of whole religious system, as a factor of legitimation of these targets. This adequateness legitimized musical targets by tradition and revealed the process efficiency. On the other hand, the limits of the control were observed: musical memories, maintenances of collective identities and traditional religious manifestations, practical needs, emotional memories, political (national identity) and economical interests, and above all, the ability trading of individuals and local groups in relation to the targets of the religious system.
