| dc.description.abstract | With the renewal of devotion to Mary, from the 70s of the twentieth century,
through the support of the popes Paul VI and John Paul II, there was an urgent
need to write songs in praise of the mother of Jesus. In view of this panorama,
the Catholic Church had to opportunize the appearance of religious songs, so
that there was a more active participation of the faithful in the celebrations, as
opposed to the sacred repertoire used in the pre-conciliar past. It is in this context
that the first liturgical compositions of the Ir Pires, SJ appear, of which, those of
Marian themes, will only appear from the 90s until the years 2010, during which
time he lived and worked in Recife, in front of the learned choir called Madrigal
Unicap. In this sense, in order to make analyzes of these specifically Marian
songs, it was necessary to go a long way, beginning the researches from the
beginnings of the primitive Christianity until pouring into the religious music of
liturgical character, backed in the current conciliar rules of Vatican II. The work
thus contributes to the Sciences of Religion, when it brings, in the field of his
research, important information about music, especially about the genre religious
music. In the field of History of Music, renowned authors such as Candé (2003),
Grout / Palisca (2005) and Palen ([1958]) were used as theoretical references in
the field of Music History; already in the field of "mariology", we worked with
renowned indoctrinators like Larentin (1965), Boff (2006), Lacoste (2004), Murad
(2012) and Bauer (2000). In the same way, Doctrina dos Afetos and functional
harmony (musical), were used as methodological tools of the analysis of these
songs. | eng |
