People have different hobbies. The people we are going to meet here share the same interest - choir singing. Singing together in different choirs is their hobby (leisure time interest). What brings them together is the singing, getting an opportunity to sing together with people they otherwise would not meet. In this essay you will learn some of the reasons behind the fact that choir singing is a big movement in Sweden (reasons behind choir singing having a great number of practitioners). You will get a direct link to the informants, without having to read answers that have been tampered with. The choir singers who participate will speak directly to you.

The text directs its attention towards choir singing and its idiosyncrasies using the bases of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology and its application to sociological discussions on taste as a social reality defined by tensions created in the cultural milieu to which the concepts field, habitus and capital apply. Choir singing as a cultural practice is presented and a historic is traced since its origins until actual days. Focus falls upon uses of choir singing for the most different varieties of Protestantism in order to track the aspects that revealed themselves preponderant when this cultural practice arrived in Brazil and also to understand facts and characters that made Brazilian evangelical choir singing take the historical routes that brought it to occupy a place of high cultural value in Brazilian protestant culture. Later, commotions to the choir singing caused by social changes that deeply re-characterized musical taste in the Protestantism of that country are verified. The discussion follows to an analysis of the fights that those new configurations are establishing inside religious field and to the expressions of these battles in a market of symbolic goods that comprehends and orients them. With the goal of determine the subjects involved, the main adversaries of choir singing in Brazilian evangelic field are presented and, finally, three projects that, in the last decades, have reached impact in the protestant midst as defenders of choir singing are delineated. / A dissertação elabora considerações reflexivas a respeito do canto coral como prática cultural social no protestantismo brasileiro. O texto direciona sua atenção para o canto coral e suas idiossincrasias a partir das bases da sociologia de Pierre Bourdieu e de sua aplicação às discussões sociológicas sobre o gosto como realidade social definida por tensões criadas no meio cultural, as quais se aplicam os conceitos de campo, habitus e capital. A prática cultural do canto coral é apresentada e um histórico é traçado desde suas origens até os dias atuais. O foco recai sobre os usos do canto coral pelas mais diferentes vertentes do protestantismo a fim de acompanhar os aspectos que se mostraram preponderantes quando da chegada dessa prática cultural ao Brasil e compreender fatos e personagens que fizeram com que o canto coral evangélico brasileiro tomasse os rumos históricos que o levaram a ocupar um posto de alto valor cultural dentro da cultura protestante no Brasil. Posteriormente, verificam-se os abalos ao canto coral causados por mudanças sociais que recaracterizaram profundamente o gosto musical no protestantismo pátrio. A discussão se encaminha para a análise das lutas que essas novas configurações estão estabelecendo dentro do campo religioso e às expressões dessas batalhas dentro de um mercado de bens simbólicos que as comporta e orienta. Visando determinar os sujeitos envolvidos, são apresentados os principais adversários do canto coral no campo evangélico brasileiro e, por fim, são delineados três projetos que, nas últimas décadas, têm alcançado impacto dentro do meio protestante como defensores do canto coral.

O presente trabalho de pesquisa, elaborado como uma narrativa de formaÃÃo pessoal, contextualiza e discute as possibilidades de EducaÃÃo Musical forjadas a partir da dÃcada de oitenta (sÃculo XX), na cidade de Fortaleza no Estado do CearÃ: Brasil. O foco inicial do trabalho à o Projeto Ãpera Nordestina, implantado na Universidade Federal do CearÃ, foco este que se estende e se abre para a aÃÃo educativa, musical, coletivamente realizada no Coral daquela instituiÃÃo (UFC) durante o perÃodo histÃrico enfocado: de 1985 a 2005. A discussÃo aqui empreendida busca compreender as razÃes que levaram à implantaÃÃo de um projeto educacional atravÃs da montagem de uma Ãpera que contaria a HistÃria do CearÃ. Ao mesmo tempo, busca-se refletir sobre a relaÃÃo que o conhecimento musical estabelece com as elites que dele se apropriam em busca de legitimaÃÃo social, bem como as estratÃgias e possibilidades de formaÃÃo humano-musical para as pessoas oriundas das camadas menos favorecidas economicamente. O trabalho aponta para as possibilidades de uma EducaÃÃo Musical realizada atravÃs do prazer e do rigor advindos da montagem de espetÃculos de canto coral coletivamente pensados e realizados a partir do cancioneiro popular do Brasil. Assim, procura-se compreender as implicaÃÃes do Projeto Ãpera Nordestina, seus primeiros ensaios e encenaÃÃes; como tambÃm os efeitos das montagens de espetÃculos do Coral da UFC frente aos processos formativos humano-musicais das pessoas que deles participam, tomando como base a HistÃria de Vida aqui narrada. / The present research work, elaborated as a narrative of personal development contextualizes and discusses the possibilities of Musical Education that were forged from the decade of nineteen eighty in the city of Fortaleza, state: CearÃ, Brazil. The inicial focus of the work is the Opera Project introduced at the Federal University of Cearà (UFC); a focus that is extended and opened to the educational and musical action carried out collectively through the choir of this institution â Coral da UFC â during the historical period on which this research centers: 1985â2005. The discussion undertaken here seeks to understand the reasons that led to the introduction of an educational project through setting up an opera that would tell the history of CearÃ. At the same time we seek to reflect on the relation that musical knowledge establishes with the elites who take possession of it in order to get social status, as well as the strategies and possibilities of human and musical education for persons originating from economically less favored strata. The research work points out the possibilities of a musical education that is carried out through the pleasure and rigor coming from setting up spectacles of choir singing which are collectively conceived and realized from the body of popular Brazilian songs. Thus, we seek to understand the implications of the Opera Project, its first rehearsals and stagings, as well as the implications of setting up the spectacles of the Coral da UFC, in front of the processes of human-musical education experienced by the spectacle participants, choosing as basis for these reflections the life story narrated here.

For that, interviews and activities were carried out with the teacher, and it was analyzed, not only the rehearsals, but also the characteristics of her job which can only be emphasized through a deep observation. Through the interview analysis and the observation of the teacher s activities and the choir s performance, besides the bibliographical surveying and the specific documents, we were able to have access to trialed paths and to the conceptions of musical education underlying the teacher s job. This work allows us to conclude that the choir singing is a fundamental strategy to the development of the several intelligences and cognitive and social abilities of the student, as well as it contributes with some suggestions of musical activities and it confirms the multidiscipline job of the teacher from this area / Este trabalho propõe algumas reflexões sobre o canto coral no ambiente escolar, tendo como objetivo principal demonstrar como é possível uma professora generalista desenvolver uma prática musical no ensino fundamental contando com suas habilidades naturais e com o desenvolvimento dessas habilidades num programa de formação continuada em música. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas e atividades com a professora, e feita uma análise não somente dos ensaios, mas também das características de seu trabalho que só mediante uma observação mais específica podem ser ressaltadas. Por meio da análise da entrevista e observação das atividades da professora e da atuação do coral, além do levantamento bibliográfico e de documentos específicos, pôde-se ter acesso aos caminhos percorridos e às concepções de educação musical subjacentes ao trabalho da professora. Este trabalho permite concluir que o canto coral é estratégia fundamental para o desenvolvimento das diversas inteligências e das habilidades cognitivas e sociais do estudante, bem como contribui com algumas sugestões de atividades musicais e corrobora com o trabalho multidisciplinar do professor da área

The Diploma thesis is divided into two big separate structures. The first one deals with a complete summary of history of music with focus on the representation of boy and male choir singing in different eras of musical evolution. It also gives an overview of the most important authors (and their works), who worked in time of male choirs' greatest expansion in our country - period of national renaissance. Also, it offers an overview of the choir ensembles of this type, which work in Czech Republic and abroad nowadays. The second structure is focused on professional work with boy's voice in time before mutation and during mutation and on the way which choirs function and the way of boys' motivation. Because there is not much Czech literature dealing with boys' voice during mutation, this part of diploma thesis is composed mainly from practical point of view. In purpose of practical assessment of this subject, a method of written questionnaire was used, given to choirmasters of the choirs in Czech Republic of such type. Choir directors also summarize their opinions from perspective of cooperation and concurrence between each boy choirs in Czech Republic.

Este trabalho propõe-se a investigar, identificar e analisar as práticas do regente-arranjador desde a concepção do arranjo até sua performance, passando pela escolha do repertório, procedimentos e técnicas de escrita, ensaios. Objetiva ainda averiguar o quanto o regente-arranjador participa ou influencia na circulação do repertório coral brasileiro. Para isso, adotamos uma metodologia mista e pesquisa empírica. Divide-se em dois capítulos, no primeiro, pesquisando sobre a circulação do repertório, traçou-se um panorama cultural dos séculos XX e XXI, fez-se uma revisão bibliográfica de dez trabalhos que abordam em suas temáticas a produção de arranjos, entre eles Fernandes (2003), Souza (2003), Pereira (2006) e Moura (2012), discutiu-se o termo \"popular\" e o conceito de \"arranjo coral\" neste contexto e ainda analisou-se programas de concerto de encontros corais (1984-1994). No segundo capítulo, buscou-se definir o perfil do regente-arranjador, utilizando o método prosopográfico (STONE, 2011; e PAZ, 2014). Foram ainda realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e abertas com os regentes-arranjadores Eduardo Fernandes, Marcelo Recski e Roberto Rodrigues a fim de obter informações mais detalhadas e completas, tais entrevistas foram a única forma de chegar a esclarecimentos sobre as questões práticas sobre composição e interpretação de arranjos, além de questões específicas de determinados arranjos, que as outras metodologias não eram capazes de abarcar. Ao tratar diretamente das práticas do regente-arranjador, analisou-se: o repertório como fator de identidade de grupo; os processos de hibridação nos arranjos (CANCLINI, 2003; e BURKE, 2003); adaptações de arranjos; e regras e estratégias de escrita, leitura e interpretação de arranjos corais com base no conceito de comunidade interpretativa (OLIVEIRA, 2002). Como resultado, constatou-se que há um predomínio de arranjos em relação às composições nos programas analisados e que o regente-arranjador é o principal produtor destes arranjos. Baseado na noção de comunidade interpretativa, conclui-se que as partituras de arranjos corais são geralmente partituras abertas, sujeitas a alguns acréscimos, supressões ou transformações. A partir das entrevistas, foi possível identificar práticas de leitura e de uso compartilhadas pelos regentes corais brasileiros responsáveis pela circulação de arranjos, referentes a dinâmicas, andamentos, respirações, cifras, ritmos, entre outras. / This research is intended to investigate, identify and analyze the various practices of conductor-arranger - from the arrangement\'s conception up to its performance, throughout repertoire\'s choice, writing procedures and techniques, and rehearsals. It also aims to verify how much the conductor-arranger participates or even influences Brazilian choral repertoire\'s circulation. For that, we have adopted a mixed methodology and empirical research. The research is divided into two chapters. The first looks at repertoire circulation, where we have traced an overview of the 20th and 21st centuries: there is a literature review of ten works that approach arrangement\'s production, among them Fernandes (2003), Souza (2003), Pereira (2006) and Moura (2012). The term \'popular\' and the concept of \'choral arrangement\' are discussed and the concert programs of Choral encounters are analyzed (1984-1994). In the second chapter, the purpose was to define the conductor-arranger\'s profile, by using the prosopographical method (STONE, 2011; and PAZ, 2014). Three conductor-arrangers contributed in semi-structured and open interviews, among them are Eduardo Fernandes, Marcelo Recski and Roberto Rodrigues, in order to obtain more detailed and complete information. Such interviews were the only way of coming to understand practical issues on composition and interpretation of arrangements, besides specific issues of some of the arrangements, that other methodologies were not able to approach. Regarding the practices of the conductor-arranger, the following subjects were analyzed: the repertoire as a group identity factor, the hybridization processes in arrangements (CANCLINI, 2003; e BURKE, 2003); arrangement\'s adaptations, writing rules and strategies, reading and interpretation of choral arrangements based on the concept of interpretative community (OLIVEIRA, 2002). As a result, it was verified that the number of arrangements prevail compositions in the analyzed programs, and that the conductor-arranger is the main producer of those arrangements. Based on the concept of interpretative community, we can conclude that choral arrangement scores are generally open scores, prone to additions, cuts and other changes. The interviews made possible to identify reading practices and shared use by Brazilian choral conductors who are responsible for the arrangements circulation, referring to dynamics, tempo, breathings, chord symbols, rhythms, among others.

This work deals with Latvian Song Festivals as an important phenomenon in Latvian history which started in Latvia in 1873. Their basis lays in choir singing developed in Latvia on a massive scale in 2nd half of 19th century. The festivals probably continued old tradition of singing - so-called teicamās dziesmas which had a similar structure as modern choirs. The development of choir singing is connected with Herrnhuterian schools and pedagogical colleges. The personality playing an important role in this process was a chief pedagogue in Valmiera Jānis Cimze whose collection Dziesmu rota launched a discussion about the future of Latvian culture from the point of view of national identity. Although the structure of Latvian Song Festivals was taken over from the Baltic Germans the idea of national identity has been involved since the beginning. Forming of Latvian national identity was in its beginnings influenced by J. G. Herder's philosophy and his idea of Volkslied and Volksgeist and it is closely connected with Latvian folk songs. It corresponds with Latvian self-determination as the nation of singers. In four historic periods defined by socio-political changes on Latvian territory these ideas together with a strong national element is found exactly in Latvian Song Festivals. The festivals become a...
