In the shadow of the cathedral choir. Liturgical choirs of protestant parishes in 19th century Berlin

该项目重点关注19世纪最后三分之一时期在快速发展的普鲁士首都新成立的新教教区的合唱团。重点在于合唱团的数量，他们的组成，资金和功能作为服务和音乐会生活的一部分。特别是与19世纪30年代至50年代早期新建的教区和较老的内城区教区进行比较，将会指出其连续性和变化性。进一步关注合唱团指挥办公室的发展，该办公室正在进行变革，并整合了从唱诗班指挥到风琴手和风琴手的功能。将调查为什么曾经严格划分的职能在这一时期合并。

The project focuses on choirs of newly founded protestant parishes of the last third of the 19th century in the fast growing capital of Prussia. The focus lies on the number of choirs, their composition, funding and function as part of the service and concert life. Especially a comparison with the older inner city parishes and the early newly founded parishes between the 1830s to 50s will point out continuity and change. Further attention is given to the development of the office of choir directors which was under change and integrated functions from the choirmaster to the suspensor and the organist. It will be investigated why the once strictly divided functions were merged in this period.
