Contextualization of Singing in the Liturgy of the Evangelical Church in Timor.

This research aims to raise traditional concepts among the people of East Nusa Tenggara, which can contribute to the development of traditional singing in worship. This concept was developed using an ethnomusicological approach related to scales in East Nusa Tenggara. In this case, the process can provide a change in the musical atmosphere related to liturgical music in the Evangelical Christian Church in Timor (GMIT). The composition is done only in a hybrid form due to the use of tones that appear in traditional songs, which are then developed for the benefit of liturgical singing in accordance with biblical texts or the habit of singing in a liturgy. This development can be done in the form of contextualizing songs to add to the repertoire of church music at GMIT. The method used in this research is the Art Creation Method.
