A questão da qualidade da Música Sacra na Igreja Católica: precedentes históricos e perspectivas em Maceió

Abstract

The present study contemplates a deep understanding of the roots of the founding thoughts, composition and practices of Catholic sacred music, attending later to what I call the movement of continuities and movement of ruptures. For such dispositions, we follow, as references, authors who, in this view, constitute as important scholars for the theoretical basis, as Benedict XVI (2017). This work gives a broad view of the history and / or movements of sacred music from medieval times to the present day. Since then, the identification of the “quality standards” of this same Catholic sacred music for universal observation has been taken as objectives. With that, we were able to investigate the realities we had in our locality. For this purpose, the methodology of bibliographic and documentary research referenced by official documents of the Catholic Church and authors cited in the study was used. Then, interviews were conducted with people involved in the processes related to sacred music in the local reality. From the analysis, a strong presence of rupture movements was concluded, as presented in the work.
