Abstract

ABSTRACT The main objectives of this Phd Thesis are two. On the one hand, describe and analyze the current state of the organization, management and operation of the Brotherhoods and Bells active auroros in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia from the perspective of auroros and, on the other hand, understand and analyze from a musical point of view teaching and learning mode of singing. To carry out this research has been used a mixed methodology of quantitative and qualitative. The population of this study consists of the 257 members of the fourteen Bells or auroros Brotherhoods of the Region of Murcia active in 2015. The sample amounts to 94.55% of the total population (243 auroros). To collect the information first has been designed and validated a questionnaire that was answered by all participants. Second, it was held conducting an interview with one of the directors of each of the Bells or Brotherhoods members. Finally, an analysis card was designed to record the organological hand bells used by auroros. In addition, also it included in the Thesis collection in a catalog of all the scores transcribed to music notation made until each of the Bells or Brotherhoods active in the region of Murcia. In connection with the operation and organization of bells or brotherhoods, the results reveal an aging murciana Aurora population with an average age of 58 years and whose rituals have been adapted to modern times, performing their wake in a testimonial and distributed within five periods of action set by the Auroro calendar. Similarly, we can say that the learning mode of singing auroros maintains its own essence in the orality of the past, but with modifications in its generational transmission with the use of current resources.
