The first part of the article outlines Luthers program for a reform of the Mass in 1523 and presents his contributions to Walters <em>Chorgesangbuch. </em>The second part of the article analyses six hymns from the <em>Chorgesangbuch</em> as they appear in the Malmö Mass from 1529 – the first Danish mass order.</span></div> Kristoffer Garne Copyright (c) 2024 Kristoffer Garne https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 4 25 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155237 <div><span lang="EN-US">The Church of Sweden (Svenska kyrkan) is in the midst of the process of renewing or even replacing its current hymn book. This article studies the hymn production taking place within the local congregation, namely by the local church musician. Renowned composer and organist Maria Löfberg acts as a case study, to function as a prism to illumine different topics concerned and highlight the complexity of the multifaceted role of the hymn composing church musician. Her main motive for composing hymns is a presumed lack of hymns specifically tailored for each Sunday in the church year. The texts for her hymns are usually written by Bertil Murray whereas the modern worship songs have texts by local minister Markus Leandersson, where the shift in writer also shifts the theological and liturgical focus. Musically she uses a variety of styles, including the frequent use of pastiche, emphasizing the message and liturgic function above an individualized personal style. The incorporation of the newly composed songs and hymns is consciously spread out to avoid an unfamiliarness within the congregation and also to eschew an unwanted focus on the originator, which sometimes means composing under pseudonym. The risks include the loss materiality, an overemphasize on a local repertoire and thereby loss of connection to the denomination as a whole, and the idolization of the local church musician. Most of the risks can be evaded by an approach of contextualized servitude. </span></div> Leander Franke Copyright (c) 2024 Leander Franke https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 26 45 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155256 Copyright (c) 2024 Hymnologi Redaktion https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 105 105 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155247 Helen Rossil Copyright (c) 2024 Helen Rossil https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 84 85 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155248 Ida Fahl Copyright (c) 2024 Ida Fahl https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 86 91 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155249 Leander Franke Copyright (c) 2024 Leander Franke https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 92 92 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155250 Sofija Lazić Pedersen Copyright (c) 2024 Sofija Lazić Pedersen https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 93 94 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155251 Samuli Korkalainen Copyright (c) 2024 Samuli Korkalainen https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 95 97 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155252 Martin Roelsgaard Gade Copyright (c) 2024 Martin Roelsgaard Gade https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 98 98 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155253 Copyright (c) 2024 Hymnologi Redaktion https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 99 101 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155254 Copyright (c) 2024 Hymnologi Redaktion https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 102 102 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155255 Copyright (c) 2024 Hymnologi Redaktion https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 103 104 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155233 Sofija Lazić Pedersen Copyright (c) 2024 Sofija Lazić Pedersen https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 1 3 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155238 Sofija Lazić Pedersen Copyright (c) 2024 Sofija Lazić Pedersen https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 46 48 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155239 Susanne Wigorts Yngvesson Copyright (c) 2024 Susanne Wigorts Yngvesson https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 49 52 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155240 Samuli Korkalainen Copyright (c) 2024 Samuli Korkalainen https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 53 55 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155241 Andreas Nordanstig Copyright (c) 2024 Andreas Nordanstig https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 56 59 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155242 Samuli Korkalainen Copyright (c) 2024 Samuli Korkalainen https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 60 62 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155243 Kerstin Hesslefors Persson Copyright (c) 2024 Kerstin Hesslefors Persson https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 63 64 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155244 Gaute Grimeland Copyright (c) 2024 Gaute Grimeland https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 65 71 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155245 Helen Rossil Copyright (c) 2024 Helen Rossil https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 72 79 https://hymnologi.journal.fi/article/view/155246 Marta Holgersson Copyright (c) 2024 Marta Holgersson https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 2 80 83
