Die musiek van die Apostoliese Geloofsending van Suid-Afrika (1908-1998)

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The AFM came into being as a result of the Pentecostal Movement, which in turn owes itsexistence to the worldwide revivals at the beginning of the twentieth century. The president ofthe AFM, Dr. Isak Burger, writes in his book concerning the history of the church: DieGeloofsgeskiedenis van die Apostoliese Geloofsending van Suid-Afrika, that the FirstEvangelical Awakening (18th century), the Second Evangelical Awakening (19th century), aswell as the worldwide revivals at the beginning of the twentieth century, had a causal effect onone another. It goes without saying that the musical practices of these Awakenings would also,indirectly, influence that of the AFM.This study serves a twofold purpose. It is just as important to examine the origin anddevelopment of the AFM, as it is to examine internal and external factors that have influencedits musical practices. The music that has been used during different periods also receives dueattention.In order to view the AFM in the correct perspective, Chapter 1 deals with the factors leading upto the origin of the Pentecostal Movement. However, the historical development within theAFM also receives attention, with special reference to those events which influenced thepractice of church music directly or indirectly.Chapter 2 includes a history of Church Music since the Reformation, since the Reformersstrove to get the congregation involved into the service of worship. Music practised during theFirst and Second Evangelical Revivals, as well as the subsequent revivals at the beginning ofthe twentieth century, also receives mention.The musical practice within the AFM forms the main theme of Chapter 3. Subdivisions of thischapter reflect historical events within the AFM, the influence of the Charismatic RevivalMovement, the role and function of music during church services, the rendition of music items,as well as the leading figures who contributed to this practice.Chapter 4 provides a chronological summary of songbooks used by the AFM since 1908 until1998, while Chapter 5 presents analyses of the music mentioned in Chapters 2,3 and 4.
