The diploma thesis consists of three parts. The first one describes the historical role of psalms during masses from their origin until presence. It illuminates the new role of psalms in the Cathlolic liturgy after the second Vatican council and outlines how these liturgical changes projected into Czech Catholic enviroments. The second part introduces significant Czech psalters and their authors. The psalters were created for liturgical needs and in reaction to the conclusions of the 2VC for liturgical needs. The third, main part of the thesis consists of detailed analysis of 1992 Karel Sklenička's psalter Responsoriální žalmy pro neděle a významné dny liturgického roku. The analysis of harmonic and melodic procedures of individual tones serves as a basis for the practival part of the thesis which is an extension of existing Sklenička's psalter to all days of liturgical year. The new psalter preserves the music component composed by Karel Sklenička and also preserves the way of work with the liturgical text in new psalms following the pattern of Karel Sklenička. The new psalter keeps strictly to the liturgically prescribed texts for individual liturgical occasions like the psalter from 1992.

This thesis investigated the approach to, and the conducting of worship services in ten missional faith communities of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa during the period 2004 – 2009. It investigated the shift in theological paradigm (towards mission) taking place in the Dutch Reformed Church from 2002 onwards, and the effects thereof on liturgy and music in the worship domain. In order to contextualise the liturgical developments emanating from the case studies, the history and liturgy of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa were traced back to the early Dutch pastors arriving with the first settlers at the Cape Colony in 1652. The historical events leading to the Dutch Reformed Church being labelled as the state church and its sanctioning of the apartheid ideology were placed in perspective as a result of the successes of missionary work in South Africa. The missional paradigm was unpacked according to the missio Dei. God is the primal agent in mission and calls His church into mission, and sending the church to restore society. Created in the imago Dei, human beings have a responsibility towards contextual society in everyday life. Missional worship therefore becomes a paradigmatic way of life. God is the focal point in worship and liturgy: it is all about God. The core of the research revolves around the ten missional faith communities, eight of which were part of the initial Southern African Partnership for Missional Churches project. Unstructured interviews were conducted with pastors, musicians and persons involved in the focussed missional activities within these congregations. Having an insider's perspective on the project, the researcher included his own narrative in order to further underline the changes taking place in the worship domain. Liturgy in the faith communities under investigation was found to be shifting towards ecumenical models: the gathering, the service of the Word, the service of the Table, and the sending. A trend to celebrate the Eucharist/Holy Communion more frequently than the tradition dictated was also noted in the communities. In general, a more creative approach towards the planning and execution of liturgy has been observed – this freedom allowing for the Holy Spirit to move the faith community during worship, and was vastly different to the cognitive historical liturgy. The music ministry has developed into a new paradigm from the historical role of the organist. Music was found to become a focal point, manifesting as liturgical art, pointing towards God and enabling the faith community to meet God in worship. This led to the change in the role of the church musician in terms of scope and spiritual/religious value. The shift towards leading the liturgy and shaping the faith community through music has been noted – thus establishing a music ministry. The Eucharist/Holy Communion is presented as a metaphor, the underlying basis for a model in music ministry. Music ministry is now defined under the theological lens as being sacramental in nature. In closing, recommendations are made to address the re-education of church musicians and theologians to deal with the theological changes taking place in worship. / Thesis (PhD (Music))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

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.

The presence of at least two prominent streams of church music within the DRC is evident – this is also true of most other Protestant and Reformed churches. There is tension between the ‘old music’ and the ‘new music’; traditional church music and contemporary church music; the official repertoire of church music and the utilized repertoire of songs. Liturgical singing often includes various free songs (songs outside the official hymnal). Songs from various traditions are cut and pasted or copied and merged into liturgy through a process of bricolage. Within bricolage liturgy there is a growing tendency towards bricolage liturgical singing. A brief overview of the history of church music illustrates the complexities regarding church music. The official song of the temple was often complimented by the ecstatic song of individuals. The more formal and official song of the church often stood in contrast to the song and music that were played and sung in houses and elsewhere. Christian believers in different eras expressed themselves in different forms and genres of music. The Bible does not support a blueprint for church music. There is no Biblical church music, mainly because no ‘melodies’ could be preserved (cf. Mowinckel 2004:9). The latter is further complicated by the culture-bound nature of Biblical music and songs. The Biblical data mostly provides snapshots of instances where God’s people utilized music and singing in their interaction with the Almighty and covenantal God. Certain principles and guidelines for church music could be drawn from these, although the danger of fundamentalism, relativism and subjectivism remains. A study of liturgy illustrates the important role of music and singing within the dialogue of the liturgy. Recent studies emphasize that church music could function as a ritual symbol within a specific cultural or sub-cultural community. As such church music is closely related to the culture (or sub-culture) of a given community and can never be evaluated apart from that culture. Within a postmodern culture, church music will be greatly influenced and coloured by the values and attitudes of postmodernism. The latter have major implications for musical styles, genres, repertoires and the sanctification of church music. Within postmodernism the borders between sacred and secular are not so clear, neither between sacred (liturgical) music and secular music. Within Western culture and postmodernism there is a growing need for an inculturated and an inter-culturated song, expressing the smaller narrative(s) of the local congregation in idioms, language, metaphors and styles true to the local culture. Church music is closely related to the spirituality of the local congregation. The dominant type of spirituality will necessarily have a sound influence on the musical genres, accompaniments, styles and repertoire of the local congregation. The growing phenomenon of popular spirituality has definite implications for church music. At least three circles of spiritualities must find expression in the song of the local congregation, namely an ecumenical spirituality, a denominational spirituality and a congregational spirituality. Where the official song (Liedboek van die Kerk) gives expression to the denominational or Reformed spirituality as well as the meta-narrative, the free song often gives expression to the congregational spirituality as well as the smaller narrative. It is argued that the freely chosen song is an important means of expressing the spirituality of the local congregation (culture). In this sense, it does not threaten the official church song but compliments it. These two could stand in a positive and creative tension. Regarding liturgical singing, the DRC is presently moving from a societas through a phase of communitas to a new societas. It is impossible to predict the outcome of this process. As Burger (1995:31) indicates, a communitas-phase releases a lot of new energy that could be of great value to the church. Church music, as folk music and cultural music, will have to be faithful to the culture and spirituality of God’s people living in the twenty first century within a given context. The age-old tradition must continue hand in hand with a new song. Vos (2009:5) summarizes accurately: “However, each generation of believers must interpret the ancient sources and traditions of the Church anew, within the demands of their time, without being unfaithful to the traditions in which a definitive liturgy exists”. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Practical Theology / unrestricted

Worldwide liturgical music finds itself in a crisis. Liturgical music is made the scapegoat for everything that is wrong with liturgy, whereas the problems rather derive from the worship service as a whole, the theological thinking and the cultural environment in which the worship service is performed. Stereotyped liturgical forms, a cognitive verbalism, the demand for intelligibility, the loss of the poetic form of the liturgy, the disregard for symbols and rituals, the absence of visual and other art forms in the liturgy, the influence of the popular music culture and especially the lack of a profound theological reflection with regard to the essential place of music in the liturgy, are all contributing factors that have a negative influence on liturgical music. The worship service is surrounded by a postmodern culture, aspects of which might provide positive opportunities for the liturgy. A broader notion of rationality that includes the affective, non-cognitive dimensions of being human, opens up possibilities for the aesthetic, as well as the religious experience. The recognition of symbols, images, imagination and metaphors opens up new horizons for the worship service as Gesamtkunstwerk. Anti-foundationalistic thinking demands an open canon with regard to the liturgy and liturgical song. Ecumenicity as an expression of the postmodern 'global village' renders a plurality of liturgical and musical possibilities. Aspects that might influence the reception of liturgical songs and songbooks, such as a spirit of anti-authoritarianism must be borne in mind. The liturgical training of ministers of religion, especially with regard to their aesthetic formation must be given due attention. The reflection on liturgy with regard to the role of art and music as communicative acts, based on new theological insights, must come into full swing. Liturgical music can only be fully appreciated where liturgical renewal takes form in a comprehensive way and where theologically the space is opened up for music as a form of art that has the ability to communicate symbolically, especially that which defies clearcut definition - as such being a communicative act serving the gospel. / Liturgiese musiek verkeer wereldwyd in 'n krisis. Kritiek word dikwels slegs voor die deur van die musiek gele, terwyl die probleem verband hou met die erediens as geheel, die teologiese denke en met die kulturele omstandighede waarbinne die erediens plaasvind. Geykte liturgiese vorms, 'n kognitiewe-verbalisme, die oorbeklemtoonde eis om verstaanbaarheid, 'n verlies aan die kunsgestalte van die erediens, 'n miskenning van die simboliese waarde van rituele en handelinge, die gebrek aan visuele en ander kunsvorme, die invloed van die omringende musiekkultuur en veral die gebrek aan 'n grondige teologiese besinning ten opsigte van musiek in die erediens, bring die funksie, aard en wesenlike plek van liturgiese musiek in gedrang.
