Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to verify whether, based on musical training, “church musicians”, with an expanded sound vocabulary, have a greater possibility of sensitivity in moments of encounter with the Sacred. The methodology used was bibliographical research linked to the author's professional experience as a music teacher, as well as his experience in the liturgical services of the Catholic Church, occasionally in music groups. For the development of the research, three moments stand out. In the initial chapter, we propose the appropriation of the concepts of religiosity and spirituality, with authors from different areas, from theologians to academics of health sciences. In the following chapter, the focus is on music theory, the necessary knowledge about music with regard to techniques. Finally, the last chapter, in possession of theoretical concepts in the field of music and a review of concepts about religiosity and spirituality, talks about the liturgical service in the Christian church. Through this study it was found that the musician or the Ministry of Music, prayer groups, led by the Word of God, have the function of welcoming and leading participants, preparing for the moment of reflection and relationship with the Sacred. Finally, the search for a certain musical quality fostered by faith does not end with technical perfectionism, but adds a framework of technical-musical resolutions. The liturgical formation transmitted in prayer groups, through the Ministry of Music, or promoted by parish, diocesan or congregational coordination elucidates religious and spiritual values and the experience with the Sacred.
