"Sing to the lord a new song"
the interaction of religion and popular music in the case of posaunenchor in the protestant Church in Germany
Ryoto Akiyama
pp. 193-201
A Posaunenchor is a congregational brass ensemble mainly in the Lutheran Church in Germany. The performance of Posaunenchor has been regarded as a Christian religious music making, but it seems attuned to the secular environment, embracing secular popular music and the non-faithful brass players. However, this secular popular music is performed for the religious purpose, and the participatory brass ensemble can make space for the religious conceptualization of music.
