      flesch: 66
     summary: The root of indigenous Yoruba songs in the Redeemed Christian Church of God could be traced to when the founder of the Church Rev. Josiah Akindayomi left Cherubim and Seraphim Church in 1952. Following this, the present study is an in-depth interpretation of the texts of selected indigenous Yoruba songs used in the worship by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, with particular reference to their lyrics and melodic contours.

     summary: Definition of African Music In the words of Agawu (2003) “the apparently simple statement that African music is music made by Africans is not so simple after all” (p. 1), considering the effect the polarity of cultures (as a result of external influences) has on the homogeneity of Africa as a people. Music making in Africa takes into cognizance the religious inclination of the people as such the content of music in most cases portrays articles of faith, words of invocation, oblation, libation and incantation.

Such music programmes and events have adverse effects on the youths of Abraka community, and have brought tremendous impact on the speech of youths in Delta State.

Just as proverbs, maxims, mythical references of valour and legendary powers of past heroes and ancestral gods are borne through song texts, so are they encapsulated in the evolution, technology and organizational practices of African musical instruments.

     summary: The dearth of indigenous languages in Nigerian society can also be traced to the introduction of the present „modern‟ educational system and approach of the missionaries and the colonial masters. That is why Akpabot (1986) says „African music borrows much from vocal music which in turn is tied to speech melody and speech rhythm‟. Speech melody and speech rhythm are inter-related.

Bearing in mind that this essay was originally presented to a Conference of Nigerian Catholic choristers, I, nevertheless, expect members of church choirs – Catholic or non-Catholic – who would read this discourse would start to be proud of their status as ministers of the liturgy, holds their heads high with some bit of genuine spiritual self-esteem, and approach their ministry of sacred music with greater sense of gravity.

Therefore, film images are representations of what the filmmaker sees which indicates that nothing real exists independently of the use of codes.

     summary: In most cases, traditional dances rely on the uniqueness of their costumes to deliver the underlying message of their performance. Shannon agrees by stating that what arouses the sense of ritual and conviviality in a dance lies in the sacredness and camaraderie of symbols like costume and makeup, because these important symbols are often: activated by certain practices releasing the energy within them for healing, insight and spiritual growth... traditional dances once served as ritual practices to facilitate this activation, and that the body of dances and related customs constitutes a mystery school which consciously transmits certain information and specific threads of ancient wisdom.

The world wherein Church music ministry is being practiced is changing; Church music being a cultural and functional art is not totally immune from developments in the world in which it operates.

     summary: It is worth noting today that many young Yoruba artists could not understand or articulate the complexity of the sophisticated concepts and philosophies underlying the Yoruba worldview of arts in terms of its creativity, aesthetics, and functions (Abiodun, Drewal, Pemberton 1991: 8) which are emphasized and symbolically represented through icons, images, signs and symbols expressed through different forms of Yoruba art. These colours in the Yoruba cosmos are significant in understanding Yoruba art as they define and reveal the nature, character, or personality of things, persons and divinities (pp.18 & 20).
