Church polyphony in the light of ecumenical dialogue

Matić, Zlatko (author), Stevanović, Sanja (author)

The existence of polyphonic forms within the liturgical music of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches appears to be closely related to the domain of ecumenical dialogue. The appearance of polyphonic music in the liturgy, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, aimed to preserve the unique identity of both the nations and the Church within the given cultural context. The authors use a comparative analysis of the material gathered from both theological and musicological field. Using the example of church polyphony, the authors argue that ecumenical dialogue is also correlated with the issue of music in the liturgy and, consequently, with everyday life.

• Title: Cerkvena polifonija v luči ekumenskega dialoga

Abstract

Obstoj polifonih oblik v liturgični glasbi Rimskokatoliške in Pravoslavne cerkve je tesno povezan s področjem ekumenskega dialoga. Pojav polifonične glasbe v liturgiji v devetnajstem in dvajsetem stoletju je bil namenjen ohranjanju edinstvene identitete narodov in Cerkve v danem kulturnem kontekstu. Avtorja uporabljata primerjalno analizo gradiva, zbranega tako s teološkega kot muzikološkega področja. Na primeru cerkvene polifonije avtorja trdita, da je ekumenski dialog povezan tudi z vprašanjem glasbe v liturgiji in posledično z vsakdanjim življenjem.
