| dc.description.abstract | Background: Shofar is one of the wind instruments made of ram horns that exist
in the territory of Israel and was previously used by the Israelites as a symbol when
war would occur, besides that the shofar was also used in special celebrations for
the Israelites such as Yom Kippur and Yosh Hashanah. and events in the worship of
the Israelites. As time goes by, this wind instrument has now entered Indonesia and
is used by charismatic churches, especially the GBI Sumatra Resort church in
Medan, North Sumatra. Due to the lack of studies on the shofar, the authors are
interested in raising this matter to be used as research which of course has a
formulation of the problem regarding the form, structure, acculturation of how the
Shofar entered the GBI Sumatra Resort Church and what the function and meaning
of music is using the shofar. In this case the author also conducts qualitative
research methods in exploring the function and meaning of the shofar due to
building a view of the things that are being examined in detail. The author also
conducts data analysis in conducting this research which is intended to be able to
find data obtained from participants, interviews, observations and documentation.
Materials and Methods: The research was carried out by going directly to the field
and observing the process of worship, the structure and form of music as well as
the meaning and function of the Shofar, as well as conducting interviews with
relevant informants
Research Result: There have been many changes but still not forgetting the old
elements of the Shofar, many changes have occured in the form of music, where
chords and musical arrangements are very moder, for Shofar itself it is more solemn
in worship, his boisterous voice can touch the hearts of the congregation to be more
and more free in praising God. | en_US |
