De senaste 150 årens successiva utveckling från en konfessionell till en konfessionsfri skola har medfört stora förändringar angående religionens plats i skolan. De flesta religiösa inslag är idag förbjudna inom skolan, men läroplanen påbjuder att psalmer ska ingå i musikämnets centrala innehåll. Psalmsång kommer ur en stark tradition i skolväsendet och ses av många fortfarande som ett självklart inslag i skolan. Syftet med studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur musiklärare hanterar konfessionellt material i sin undervisning, samt hur de resonerar kring konfessionsfrihet och bygger på tidigare forskning om religionsläraryrkets utmaningar, religionsfrihet och kulturella riters betydelse. Studien omfattar kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra musiklärare verksamma i grundskolan i Sverige. Den hermeneutiska tolkningen av forskningsmaterialet visar att tolkningarna kring begreppet konfessionsfri går isär, och att lärare känner en osäkerhet kring hur de ska säkerställa en konfessionsfri undervisning med sådant material, även om flera intuitiva lösningar på dilemmat visades. Diskussionen tar upp huruvida religionsfrihet för barn säkerställs genom konfessionsfrihet, samt några praktiska förslag för pedagogisk praktik. / The development over the past 150 years from confessional to confession-free schools has resulted in large changes concerning the role of religion in Swedish schools. Most religious elements in schools are forbidden today, but current curriculum decree that hymns still should be part of the central content of the subject of music. The singing of hymns springs from a strong tradition within the Swedish school system and is still considered by many to be necessary content. The purpose of this study is to contribute with knowledge about how music teachers handle confessional material in their teaching, and how they reason about confession-free education. The study is built upon previous research about religion didactics, freedom of religion, and the importance of cultural rites. The study consists of qualitative interviews with four active music teachers in Sweden. The hermeneutic analysis of the research material shows that the interpretations of the concept confession-free are varied, and that teachers feel an insecurity about how to ensure a confession-free education with religious material, even if several intuitive solutions to the dilemma were shown. The discussion lifts whether the concept confession-free ensures the religious freedom of the pupils, and some practical suggestions for music education.

Singing school teachers, who teach rural church congregations to sing from shape-note gospel songbooks, are still working in southcentral Kentucky, but the demand for them is smaller than it was in the first half of the twentieth century. The interdependence network in which singing school teachers, songbook publishers, and community singing events were key parts began to weaken in the 1940s as a result of the growth in popularity of professional gospel quartet concerts and gospel record albums. Many gospel music enthusiasts who once looked to songbooks as a major source for new material and for developing singing skills turned to albums and concerts in the 1940s. Singing school teachers began to be called on less frequently. The first three chapters of this thesis contain an overview of the gospel singing events, the songbook publishers, and the singing schools. The nature of the relationship between these three gospel music institutions is established. In the fourth chapter, I profile three singing school teachers of southcentral Kentucky. In the conclusion, the development of popular religious music since the early 1800s is summarized and the importance of researching Southern white gospel music as a step toward a greater understanding of Southern music traditions as a whole is examined.

The goal for this dissertation was to research the music in liturgy and daily life of early Christians (of the first two centuries AD) and to reveal the main factors affecting the fornation of music and liturgy in the early church. Therefore the music backgrounds of the early Christians (the Jewish and Hellenistic music cultures) together with the evidences from early Christian literature (New Testament and some of the Church Fathers) have been examined. On the strength of the investigations done, the author concludes that Christianity inherited musical traditions first of all from Judaism, and later on, as it was extended to the entire Roman Empire, it was influenced by Hellenism as well. Consequently, there was not a united form of worship in early Christian church, and from the very beginning the music of different communities could vary depending on their cultural backgrounds.Thus, music life of Jewish Christianity differed from the churches consisting mainly of Christians from the Gentiles. / Cristian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (New Testament)

The first chapter is focused on the historical field, addressing the development of religious music in the Old and New Testament Bible, the establishment of the Church in the Middle Ages and the religious reforms according to Grout Palisca, Collins Price and Stamps. The second chapter explores the Gospel, from its origins to the present time based on the reflections of Friendland, Baggio, Muggiati and Calado. The first part of the third chapter discusses the musicality of religion in Brazil and in Goiás , more specifically the history of Pentecostalism and the musical development of this segment supported by the authors of the social sphere: Mariano, Freston and Weber. Achieving the goals of this research, the second part presents Radio Paz FM 89.5, relating to the current context, called postmodern, based on various researchers - Featherstone, Lyotard, Harvey and others - within the globalization process, including the issue of globalization, the spectacle and consumption. Conclude that Gospel music is the great current phenomenon. You can ensure that this research represents only the beginning of the study of this phenomenon that tends to arouse more and more the interest of religious communities, evangelical or not. / A presente pesquisa objetiva promover uma reflexão sobre a descaracterização da música evangélica do movimento pentecostal em Goiânia. Para tanto, será discutido o processo de interação entre a música e a Rádio Paz FM 89,5, considerando o impacto da Globalização e, mais especificamente, a Indústria Cultural na expansão do estilo musical conhecido atualmente como gospel. Esse estudo analisa ainda a integração e a similaridade da canção gospel com a música denominada pop, esta que é desenvolvida fora dos recintos religiosos, apontando semelhanças quanto à instrumentação, arranjos musicais, performances, difusão radiofônica, televisiva e recepção pública. A sistematização da pesquisa ocorre em três capítulos, sendo que cada um perfaz uma abordagem específica, com base nos métodos de crítica de Imbert: histórico e sociológico e também nas considerações de Guy Debord, no que se refere ao espetáculo. A observação no que diz respeito à Rádio Paz FM 89,5 teve a duração de vinte meses. A fundamentação teórica foi construída a partir dos resultados das respostas obtidas nas entrevistas. O primeiro capítulo está voltado ao campo histórico, abordando o desenvolvimento da música religiosa no Antigo e Novo Testamento bíblico, o estabelecimento da Igreja na Idade Média e as reformas religiosas conforme Grout Palisca, Collins Price e Stamps. O segundo capítulo explora o Gospel, desde a sua origem até a contemporaneidade, com base nas reflexões de Friendlander, Baggio, Muggiati e Calado. A primeira parte do terceiro capítulo aborda a musicalidade religiosa no Brasil e em Goiás, mais especificamente a trajetória do pentecostalismo e o desenvolvimento musical deste segmento apoiados nos autores da esfera social: Mariano, Freston e Weber. Atingindo os objetivos desta pesquisa, a segunda parte apresenta a Rádio Paz FM 89,5, relacionando-a ao contexto atual, denominado pós-moderno, baseado em vários pesquisadores - Featherstone, Lyotard, Harvey e outros - dentro do processo de globalização, abrangendo a questão da globalização, o espetáculo e consumo. Conclui-se que a música gospel é o grande fenômeno atual. Pode-se assegurar que essa pesquisa representa apenas o início do estudo desse fenômeno que tende a despertar cada vez mais o interesse das comunidades religiosas, evangélicas ou não.
