Τα υμνολόγια της Ελληνικής Ευαγγελικής Εκκλησίας: ιστορική και συγκριτική μελέτη
Translated title:
The hymns of the Greek Evangelical Church: historical and comparative study.
Summary:
In this present work, a historical and comparative study of the hymns of the Evangelical Church of Greece is carried out from its beginnings until today. It aims to show the historical evolution of the hymns and music of the older and bigger Evangelical Churches of Greece but also to manifest the differences that occurred to the hymns. Particular importance has been given to the last two versions of the hymnal (1937 and 1995) as from the comparison of the two aforementioned hymns emerge specific conclusions in the musical preferences of the congregation and how this affects the content of the hymns. The final form of the diploma, emerged after research related to the hymns, for which few studies have been done. It is important to emphasize the importance of music in the worship of the Evangelical Church, as well as its special characteristics in Greece. Finally, this work tries on the one hand to shed light on the uniqueness of the hymn within the Greek Evangelical Church and on the other hand to note the changes that have taken place in the last 80 years or so.
