| dc.description.abstract | Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP) is a Protestant Christian denomination church with a Lutheran tradition heritage. Thus, music is one of the main elements of worship that can greatly influence the value of a worship itself. The music played in the naposobulung worship is called gospel music. The purpose of this study is to describe the worship system, role, structure and form of gospel music in the naposobulung worship of the HKBP Glugur Medan Church. The method used in this study is a qualitative method. To support this method, the work process carried out by the author is: observation, field studies, interviews and recording. The theory used in this study is the theory of Bruno Nettl and Koentjaraningrat. The results obtained by gospel music in worship at HKBP Glugur have a big role in giving a new impression to the congregation when worshiping, music also has a role in limiting how contemporary worship arrangements are still in accordance with central HKBP regulations. Music in HKBP worship only uses keyboard instruments, and still maintains worship according to the rules of the central HKBP, but there is one worship service, namely the Naposobulung service at the HKBP Glugur Church which is accompanied by several modern musical instruments such as organs, drums, keyboards, pianos, bass guitars, saxophones, and electric guitars and the simple arrangement of worship makes something new and interesting to be unique in the worship model at the HKBP Glugur Church. And the continuity of contemporary worship can be carried out well at HKBP Glugur without releasing the true meaning of worship. | en_US |
