About this exposition

European church music, both Protestant Christian and Roman Catholic, is indispensable to the knowledge of Western music. The compositions created for religious celebrations such as Easter not only reflect the religious devotion of the communities of their time, but have profoundly influenced the development of musical forms, genres and techniques that have survived to the present day. The work aims to show the musical differences between Protestant and Catholic religious music, but it will also mention social, cultural and political aspects that are key to understanding the development and changes that both types of music underwent. In order to go deeper into the essence of the research, the background of Spanish religious music during the Baroque period will be discussed, with the aim of understanding the evolution of this music towards the processional marches of Holy Week, whose first compositions date back to the end of the 19th century. In the Dutch tradition during Holy Week, the main example will be the music of J.S. Bach, in particular the St. Matthew Passion and the St. John Passion. The experimental part of the work will be connected to the Professional Integration Activity and will delve into the interpretation of two solemn processional marches from the Spanish tradition, original for brass band and played on historical instruments such as the baroque cello, traverso and harpsichord. In short, the aim is to show an innovative and changing vision by means of baroque instruments and criteria, to sound a typical religious music for bands.
