Full textAbstract:
Master of Music<br>Department of Music<br>Amy Rosine<br>This report examines the sacred works of four composers that were intended for performance in a secular environment, rather than for any portion of a liturgical service. It will discuss the theoretical, stylistic and performance considerations of each work, as well as biographical information about each composer, their compositional style, and how the work was initially developed. These works include the Biblické písně, Op. 99 of Antonín Dvořák, selections from the Möricke Lieder and Spanisches Liederbuch of Hugo Wolf, Maurice Ravel’s Deux mélodies hébraïque, “Oh, Sweet Jesus” from Gian Carlo Menotti’s’ the Saint of Bleecker Street and the quartet from his Amahl and the Night Visitors.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I demonstrate how analysis through literary criticism can provide a commentary on Appalachian song. While literary analysis of both sacred and secular song lyrics is an approach that is largely overlooked in this region’s traditional music, it nonetheless provides insightful perspective on the art form itself. As I argue, one particular duo of Appalachian musicians, the Louvin Brothers, are uniquely suited to this inquiry. I propose that themes that are found in many of the Louvin Brothers’ songs, such as love, acceptance, and rejection, create a bridge between the historically documented theoretical gap between bluegrass and country music’s sacred and secular songs. I document how the Louvins successfully navigated these traditionally separate subgenres using these common subjects while offering a commentary on musical history, their own upbringing, and religion.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the relationship between text and music in Prayers of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication - a four-movement composition, fourteen minutes in length, for soprano, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, violin, double bass, and percussion. The text of the composition is taken from the Psalms and The Book of Common Prayer. The names and themes of the movements follow an ancient pattern for prayer identified by the acronym, A.C.T.S. Compositional considerations are contrasted to those of Igor Stravinsky and Steve Reich, with special emphasis on the use of musical structures, motives, and text-painting to highlight the meaning of religious texts.

Full textAbstract:
For Unto Us is a one movement work for soprano and orchestra. The text, by the composer, describes the thoughts and feelings of Mary, the mother of Jesus, as she watches the crucifixion. Mary's process of faith is traced through the sequence of dramatic events which proceed and follow the crucifixion. The work explores symbolic instrumentation, juxtaposition of harmonic languages, and extended techniques for performance and notation. The setting of the text combines traditional operatic idioms with new elements in the music. The duration of this dramatic, quasi-operatic scene is approximately nine minutes.

Full textAbstract:
Hildegard's songs evoke an erotic and embodied devotion to a Divinity imagined as sensuous, relational, immanent and often female. These songs, written for use in her predominantly female community, are part of Hildegard's educational program to guide the spiritual development of the women in her Benedictine monastery. Hildegard's theology of music proposes that the physical act of singing enables humans to experience connection to the Living Light (Hildegard's most common address for the voice of the Holy Presence in her visions, lux vivens), and to embody this Divinity in their midst. Her songs express, in dense poetic texts set to widely-ranging chant-like melodies, her rich imaging of the fecund presence of the Divine. The singers are thus encouraged to imagine themselves in relationship with the Holy One, the Living Light, through the physical act of singing these evocative songs. This dissertation analyses four of Hildegard's songs, representing a small cross section of her musical oeuvre. The analysis elucidates the way in which the music affectively conveys the meaning and significance of the texts. Carefully incising the "flesh" from the structural "bones" of the melodies reveals underlying organising configurations which pervade the songs and deliver the texts in a distinctive manner. Hildegard professed herself to be musically uneducated because she lacked a knowledge of music notation, although she admitted to extensive experience in singing Divine Office. However, she clearly claims to be the oral composer of her songs, arranging late in her life for music scribes to notate her melodies. My analysis unravels the influence of the oral composer as it intersects with the influence of the musically trained scribes who neumed her texts. Hildegard wrote that the "words symbolize the body, and the jubilant music indicates the spirit" (Scivias 3:12:13). She claims that the music conveys the meaning of the texts with affective power, and my analysis shows ways in which the oral composer endeavors to achieve this goal. Her texts, conveyed by her melodies and thus intimately entwined with the words they deliver, are powerfully persuasive forces in the spiritual education of the women in her monastery. This dissertation uncovers significant insights which can inform the communal practice of worship of the Divine, especially where song forms part of that worship, and particularly in regard to the imagining of Divinity in ways which can nourish the diversity of all humans, all creatures, and all creation. The work of feminist theologians is brought into dialogue with Hildegard's imagery and educational purpose, thus making available ways of imagining the Divine which are especially important for contemporary women, who have suffered from being excluded from the imago Dei. Thus the dissertation unearths a rich lode of female, and creatural embodied images, which threads its way though the millennia, but now needs to be mined to uncover images that might work for contemporary Christians seeking multiple imaging of the Divine to touch the deep feminist, ecological and liberative yearnings of many hearts and spirits.

This study examines popular female Christian vocalists of the 1970s and 1980s, their images and their contemporary Christian music (CCM) lyrics. This literature illustrates how music becomes popular, and also how it becomes a powerful source of communication, which prompts popular culture and society to buy into its style and lyrics. The implications of this study illustrates the importance of image and lyrics and how certain female CCM vocalists had greater influences, impact and had the ability to make changes within their female audiences towards Christianity.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the emergence of OM, the Sanskrit mantra and critically ubiquitous "sacred syllable" of South Asian religions. Although OM has remained in active practice in recitation, ritual, and meditation for the last three thousand years, and its importance in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions is widely acknowledged, the syllable's early development has received little attention from scholars. Drawing on the oldest textual corpus in South Asia, the Vedas, I survey one thousand years of OM's history, from 1000 BCE up through the start of the Common Era. By reconstructing ancient models of recitation and performance, I show that the signal characteristic of OM in the Vedas is its multiformity: with more than twenty archetypal uses in different liturgical contexts and a range of forms (oṃ, om̐, om, o), the syllable pervades the soundscape of sacrifice. I argue that music is integral to this history: more than any other group of specialists, Brahmin singers of liturgical song (sāmaveda) fostered OM's emergence by reflecting on the syllable's many and varied uses in Vedic ritual. Incorporating the syllable as the central feature of an innovative soteriology of song, these singer-theologians constructed OM as the apotheosis of sound and salvation. My study concludes that OM plays a crucial role in the development of South Asian religions during this period. As the foundations of South Asian religiosity shift, from the ritually oriented traditions of Vedism to the contemplative and renunciatory traditions of Classical Hinduism, OM serves as a sonic realization of the divine, a touchstone of Vedic authority, and a central feature of soteriological doctrines and practices.<br>South Asian Studies

Previous issue date: 2012-02-29<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>The Theology of Zion by the tradition of sons of Korah is somewhat curious.
Tease is entertaining the idea of a canaanite influence in the Theology of
Zion. There isn t denying that fact, because Psalm 48 seems to really have
this influence. It is a canaanite influence and also the traditions of South
Judahite. This research aims analyze the existing Theology of Zion in
Jerusalem and presented in Psalm 48. This is to arrive at an answer about the
influence that the sons of Korah may been the canaanite religion, using
elements of canaanite myths in the composition of Psalm 48 and other psalms
of this collection. Terms like Saphon, sea, death and Mount Zion, and
concepts like mythology, sacred mountain, end of the world, Olympus, etc.,
make us think that really wanted to override the canaanite myths presenting a
new reading from the faith in Yahweh. The sons of Korah had were North
Israelite traditions, the cities where they lived were located in Ephraim,
Manasseh and Dã. Some cities of Manasseh and Ephraim were canaanites
cities. The kings of North were mostly promoter of the canaanite Religion.
This was the environment where the sons of Korah lived and served your
levitical minitstry.<br>A Teologia de Sião expressa pela tradição dos filhos de Corá é de certa

tradições do Sul judaíta. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar tal teologia
de Sião existente em Jerusalém e apresentada no Salmo 48. Isto para chegar
a uma resposta acerca da influência que os filhos de Corá podem ter sofrido
da religião cananeia, ao utilizar elementos dos mitos cananeus na
composição do Salmo 48 e de outros salmos de sua coleção. Termos como
Safon, mar, morte, Monte Sião e outros, e conceitos como mitologia,
montanha sagrada, extremidade do mundo, Olimpo, etc, fazem pensar que
eles de fato queriam sobrepor os mitos cananeus apresentando uma nova
leitura, a partir da fé em Javé. Os filhos de Corá possuíam tradição do Norte
israelita. As cidades onde eles habitaram estavam situadas em Efraim,
Manassés e Dã. Algumas cidades de Manassés e Efraim eram cananeias. Os
reis do Norte eram em sua maioria promotores da religião cananeia. Este era

Full textAbstract:
Between 1952 and 1957, Igor Stravinsky surprised the world of music by gradually incorporating serialism into his style of composition. Although Stravinsky still used the neo-classical trait of making strong references to the music of earlier periods, musical analyses of this transitional period have focused on serial aspects to the exclusion of anachronistic elements.
Evidence of Stravinsky's possible use of musical structures adapted from earlier times is found in his consistent use of musical figures that are closely related to the cadences of the late Medieval and Renaissance eras. By fully addressing these neo-classical traits in future analyses, music theorists will gain an additional perspective, which is helpful in understanding the music of Stravinsky's transitional period.

Beckman, Gary D. 1961. "The sacred lute: intabulated chorales from Luther's age to the beginnings of pietism." Thesis, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/2152/3773.
Full textAbstract:
Chorale and psalm intabulations were an integral part of the German repertory for lute, both in print and in manuscript, from the beginnings of the Reformation through the seventeenth century. While these works are regularly present, if in modest proportion, in extant sources through the period, the study of these intabulations remains a lacuna in the scholarly literature. The repertory, however, is an important topic for study as it reflects key aspects of Early Modern life for devout Lutheran households: debates over orthodox and Pietist theology, private devotion and the use of domestic space, conservatism versus progressive musical approaches, and the intersection between instrumental practices and traditions of Protestant sacred song. In an effort to address this lacuna, this study catalogs chorale and psalm intabulations for lute in both print and manuscript from the early sixteenth century to the emergence of Pietism. Most importantly, it attempts to provide a context for the performance of this repertory, arguing for an assessment of lute chorales and psalms as a crucial part of domestic devotional practice.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores aspects of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford's life and music, with an emphasis on his sacred works for solo voice, choir, and organ, and an analysis of the Six Bible Songs and Hymns or Chorales (to follow the Bible songs), Opus 113 for baritone solo, SATB choir, and organ. The second chapter is a brief biography of significant events and major accomplishments in Stanford's life. The third chapter provides an overview of his compositional style, with an emphasis on the defining characteristics of his vocal music. The fourth chapter focuses on Stanford's sacred vocal music, particularly his contribution to the liturgy and service of the Anglican Church. In chapter four, a discussion of Stanford's works for solo voice, choir, and organ will include: (1) the Evening Service in G, Opus 81, for soprano and baritone soloists, choir, and organ, (2) the virtually unknown cantata Awake my heart, Opus 16, for baritone, choir, and organ, and (3) an introduction to Stanford's Six Bible Songs and Hymns, Opus 113, discussing the genesis of the work, and its unique position within the repertoire of the Anglican Church. The fifth chapter is a detailed analysis of the Six Bible Songs and Hymns that investigates musical aspects of Stanford's score, but also the history of the cycle's texts and hymn tunes, as well as performance and other extra musical considerations. A concluding sixth chapter will discuss the publication history and performance practices of the Six Bible Songs and Hymns , Opus 113.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse pense la place des figures littéraires (le Cantique des cantiques, Kierkegaard, Hofmannsthal) et cinématographiques (Matador d'Almodóvar) de la séduction dans la relation entre le soi et l'autre. Elle interroge le rapport au sacré et à la transcendance que pose l'écriture de la séduction.
Dans le premier chapitre, les frontières établies entre littérature et philosophie (personnage conceptuel, figure esthétique) sont interrogées à travers les figures de la séduction. À ces figures sont associées les figures de matadors, qui permettent de penser la violence extrême de la séduction et l'instant au cours duquel la conscience ne peut plus se dédoubler.
Le deuxième chapitre est une réflexion, à partir des figures du maître et de l'esclave, sur le désir et la conscience de soi et de l'autre dans la séduction. Les figures tauromachiques exposent le sacrifice à l'œuvre dans la séduction. Le dialogue est ici pensé au sein de la séduction, pour saisir la place de celle-ci dans la formation de la pensée.
Le troisième chapitre développe le rapport entre le soi, l'autre et le monde qu'établit la séduction. Le dandysme permet d'approcher la tension entre la matière et l'esprit que posent la séduction et son écriture. Le dialogue à l'œuvre dans la séduction est présenté comme un espace de formation. La séduction est envisagée comme séduction éthique, quête de la bonne distance, exercice spirituel. La syncope, le duende, l'extase sont décrits comme des états de conscience où la distance entre le soi et le monde, le soi et l'autre, l'esprit et la matière s'abolit. À partir de ces états, l'ouverture vers l'infini et vers la transcendance que peut poser la séduction est exposée.
Dans le quatrième chapitre, la séduction est pensée comme le parfum du sacré, à travers une lecture du Cantique des cantiques. Par la séduction, l'importance du corps dans le sacré est soulignée. La place du secret et de la foi dans la séduction, dans le sacré et dans le littéraire est étudiée. La séduction permet une plongée érotique dans le monde et dans le réel, par les figures et par les images qu'elle déploie. Le savoir de la séduction est un parcours, savoir du corps et de l'esprit.<br>This thesis reflects on the place of literary (Kierkegaard, Hofmannsthal, The Song of Songs) and cinematic (Matador d'Almodóvar) figures of seduction in the relation between the self and the other. It explores the connection to transcendence and the sacred inscribed in writings on seduction.
In the first chapter, the figures of seduction help us put into question the boundaries between literature and philosophy (conceptual persona and aesthetic figure). The figures of bullfighters, associated with the figures of seducers, present the extreme violence of seduction and the instant when consciousness can no longer be split in two.
The second chapter is a reflexion, through the figures of the master and the slave, on desire, consciousness of the self and the other in the relationship of seduction. The figures of bullfighters manifest the sacrifice in seduction. Dialogue, considered at the heart of seduction itself, reveals the importance of seduction in the process of thinking.
The third chapter develops the bond established by seduction between the self, the other and the world. In the writings of seduction, dandyism shows the tension between mind and matter. The dialogue at work in seduction opens a space of education. Seduction is viewed as an ethical process, the search for an appropriate distance, a spiritual exercise. Loss of consciousness, duende and ecstasy are described as states of consciousness that abolish the distance between self and world, self and other, and mind and matter. Through these states, seduction brings about an opening to the infinite and transcendence.
Finally, seduction is defined as the perfume of the sacred through a reading of The Song of Songs. Through seduction, the importance of the body in the sacred is underscored. The place of secrecy and faith in seduction, the sacred and literature is examined. Seduction enables an erotic immersion in the world, in the real, through the figures and images of seduction. The knowledge of seduction is a process, a knowledge of body and mind.

Catholic music has long been deemed a crucial part of the creation of western music. The most well known is Gregorian Chant, remaining as the major song in the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. When Catholicism was first introduced to Taiwan in 1859, it was documented that some sacred music started to experience the process of localization. The earliest localized sacred songs were those in the language of Taiwanese. As time and space changed, Catholic sacred music had gone over major transformations. In 1963, the Constitutio de Sacra Liturgia from The Documents of Vatican II marked a vital phase of the localization of sacred music. Nevertheless, Taiwanese sacred songs did not rise and flourish under this localization. Therefore, this thesis uses materials from Wan-Chin Basilica as subjects and collect and sort existing music scores from this church. It also examines the historical origin of Catholicism in Taiwan, investigating the starting point and development of Catholic sacred songs in Taiwanese.
There are six chapters in the thesis. Chapter 1 Introduction: explains research motive, purpose, scope and contents of the research, research methods and steps, and their limitations. Chapter 2 Preachment and Development of Catholicism in Taiwan: illustrates the first preaching period (1626), the second preaching period (1859), the Japanese rule, and the restoration of Taiwan (1945). Chapter 3 The Establishment and Development of Wan-Chin Basilica: details the history of Wan-Chin Basilica, including its initial stage, reconstruction stage, stage as a basilica under the decree of the Roman Catholic Church, and its current organization structure. Chapter 4 The History of Taiwanese Sacred Songs of Wan-Chin Basilica: compares existing sacred songs with historical versions to describe the developmental process of Taiwanese sacred songs. Chapter 5 Melody Analysis of Taiwanese Sacred Songs of Wan-Chin Basilica: analyzes the characteristics of Taiwanese sacred songs from different periods of time. Chapter 6 Conclusion: sums up observations and results of analyses.
Keywords: Catholic Taiwanese sacred songs in Taiwan, Taiwanese sacred songs of Wan-Chin Basilica, localized sacred songs, Péh-Oē-Bûn ê Ko-Kieng .

Abstracts in German and English<br>Diese Studie befasst sich mit einer Untersuchung und Einordnung einiger theologischer Aspekte der charismatischen Lobpreispraxis im deutschsprachigen Raum. Dies erfolgt mittels Analyse einschlägiger Literatur sowie repräsentativer Liedtexte der charismatisch geprägten Lobpreismusik der letzten Jahre.
Insbesondere durch die Untersuchung des Tempelmotivs und seine Bedeutung in der charismatischen Lobpreispraxis, werden Charakteristika eines zugrundeliegenden Gottesdienstverständnisses und sich daraus ergebende weltanschauliche Implikationen herausgearbeitet.
Der Befund zeigt, dass den untersuchten Lobpreisliedern ein Narrativ der Begegnung des Menschen mit Gott und seiner Gegenwart (in „heiliger Atmosphäre“) als Grundmotiv zugrunde liegt. Dieses Narrativ folgt der Logik und dem Vorbild des alttestamentlichen Tempelkults. Wie der Eintritt des Priesters ins „Allerheiligste“, soll das gottesdienstliche Lobpreiserlebnis als eine transzendente Begegnung mit dem „Heiligen“ verstanden werden, wodurch sich Tendenzen zu einem sakral-kultischen Gottesdienstverständnis und Hinweise eines Dualismus zwischen „profanen“ und „sakralen“ wirklichkeitsdimensionen des zugrundeliegenden Weltbildes aufzeigen
lassen.<br>This study evaluates some theological aspects of the charismatic praise and worship practice in the German-speaking area by analyzing relevant literature and representative lyrics of the charismatically influenced worship songs of recent years.
In particular, by examining the temple theme and its significance in charismatic worship, the characteristics of the underlying conception of worship and the resulting worldview implications are worked out.
The results show that the studied praise and worship songs are based on an underlying narrative of man's encounter with God and his presence (in a "holy atmosphere") through the singing. This narrative follows the logic and model of the Old Testament temple cult. Like the priest's entry into the "holy of holies", the worship experience is to be understood as a transcendent encounter with the "holy", whereby
tendencies towards a sacral-cultic understanding of worship and a dualism between a "profane" and a "sacred" dimension of the underlying worldview can be shown.<br>Practical Theology<br>M. Th. (Practical Theology)

碩士<br>國立臺灣藝術大學<br>戲劇學系<br>100<br>Formosa Aboriginal Song and Dance Troupe is one of the longest active aboriginal performance groups in Taiwan. In their twenty years of participation, they had created numerous plays, also preserved many precious Taiwanese aboriginal music and dance material. The creative theme and ways of interpretation have had great change during the past years, from the ritual approach towards a performative, adapted approach. There is also a swap of the theme from the ritual itself, to more secular elements such as sketches of historical figures and historical events.
This thesis compares the two representational plays from the early and late era of Formosa Aboriginal Song and Dance Troupe: Taai’s Teaching and A Rising Wind and Scudding Cloud. Many aspects of the two plays, include the field research, performance training and performance presentation, will be studied and compared. A theory of Richard Schechner will also be introduced to analyze the aspects of both plays to view whether their approach is toward ritual or performance. I sincerely hope this thesis can pay a contribution to Formosa Aboriginal Song and Dance Troupe in the area of the group’s history, and served as a reference for future researchers.

Full textAbstract:
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>This thesis defines the indigenous music of East Timor and the range and variety of its musical instruments and investigates their place within the societal and cultural mores of its autochthonous people. The island of Timor is a convergence of two major cultural groups, Austronesian and Melanesian, and as a consequence East Timor comprises many ethnolinguistic groups. My empirical research revealed diversity in the indigenous music across these groups, a reflection perhaps of the heterogeneous origins of the peoples who migrated to its shores. The indigenous cultures throughout East Timor, including musical are passed on by oral transmission and have been subjected to many influences and changes over the course of time. East Timor was on a trading network and influences from these other nations affected indigenous cultures. Centuries of invasion and occupation have also impacted the island culture. The widespread destruction by the departing Indonesian armed forces in 1999 affected the indigenous music to the extent that much of it is now regarded as endangered. Prior to this current investigation little had been written about East Timor’s indigenous music, nor has its relationship to <i>lulik</i>, the society and the cultures of its autochthonous people been considered in any detail. Empirical field research has shown that indigenous music is part of East Timorese society and culture rather than a separate entity. Therefore this thesis examines the society and culture of its autochthonous people as part of the investigation and looks at relationships between the indigenous music and these other aspects. East Timorese society is structured through a powerful system of extended marital alliance creating complex relationships between clans and its underlying indigenous belief system is based on ancestral worship. At its core is <i>lulik</i>, considered the spiritual root of all life. <i>Lulik</i> is a complex concept, with many layers, and the governance of <i>lulik’s</i> sacred rules and regulations shapes most relationships in East Timorese society. As well as exploring the relationship between <i>lulik</i> and the indigenous music and societal and cultural mores of East Timor, this thesis proposes a scheme of classification which represents this relationship.
