The development and singability of the new hymn in Britain is dependent on the interaction between the hymnologist, organist (cum music director), minister and members of the congregation. The discussion of the hymn text points out that it acts as a form of communication between God and man and as a link between present and future demonstrations of faith. Then the tonality, tempo, metre, rhythm and structure of the new hymn in Britain are discussed. The structure of the hymn is studied in more detail, using eight case studies to elucidate the interval structure of the melody, harmony and structure scheme of the* hymn. Some of the the most significant deductions are that the patternisation of intervals enhances the singability of the melody and that a variety of smaller, and even more so, bigger disjunct intervals lead to greater variation of the linear and vertical harmonic implications. / Die nuwc kerklied in Brittanje is vir sy ontwikkeling afhanklik van 'n interaksie tussen die himnoloog, orrelis (cum musiekdirekteur), predikaint en gemeentelid. Die mate waarin hierdie wisselwerking tussen die partye suksesvol is, bepaal grotendeels die singbaarheid van die kerklied. Die bespreking van die kerkliedteks behels onder meer dat die teks as konimunikasiemiddel tussen God en die mens dien. en dat dit as mededeler van bestaande en nuwe geloofshandelinge dien. Die studie behandel verder tonaliteit, tempo, metrum en ritme en die vorm van die nuwe kerklied in Brittanje. Die vorm van die kerklied, in agt gevalstudies belig, behels die intervalsamestelling van die melodie, die harmonie en struktuurskema van die kerklied. Van die belangrikste afleidings is dat die patroonmatige hantering van 'n interval die singbaarheid van 'n melodie verhoog en dat 'n verskeidenheid van kleiner en veral groter disjunkte intervalle groter variasie van sowel liniere as vertikale harmoniese implikasies tot gevolg het. / Music / M.

The purpose of this study was to determine and describe ways in which music education can be used in Protestant churches. During the last twenty years, participation in church music has grown very rapidly. The increase is a result of the growth of music in general. Music has become an important part of home, school, church, and community functions. This is evidenced by many facts: symphony orchestras, as well as community instrumental and choral groups have increased in number to the extent that there are more today than at any time in history; school music has taken tremendous strides since 19257 and church music programs have been developed to such a degree that they attract large numbers of people. In spite of the tremendous advance of music in general, and in the field of church music in particular, there is still much that needs to be done in church music. For example, when "Sacred Music" is mentioned to an average group of Americans, some will respond with blank and uninterested stares. Others will mention some of the well-worn sentimentalized, semi-religious songs such as "He," "The Man Upstairs," "You'll Never Walk Alone," or other examples of commercialized religion, Those people, and the environment in which they live, need to be reached with the music of the church that can speak to them with real meaning and truth.

Though perhaps we shall never know the music to which these religious lyrics were written, the poems have never ceased to be the source of inspiration for the spirits of men since they were first sung. Each psalm seems to have an underlying purpose with a personal message for each reader. In the Book one can find a reply to every sort of question, for the Psalms are filled with expressions of emotion brought about by all human experience. The collection of these 150 songs or psalms makes up what is known as the Hebrew hymn-book or the Book of Psalms.
