Humanizing values of the choral singing

Abstract

The study presents group singing (choral singing) through a few functions that have contributed to the human enlightenment and the formation of the present civilization: the mystical, ethical, and moral functions, the development of emotionality and affection, its role in the perpetuation of species, the work process management, the religious community, and historical memory function, the educational and motivational-volitional function and the community identity and political-propagandistic function. The presentation is supported by examples that prove the important role in the development of man as an individual and of human society, from micro-community to the global level known by today’s socioeconomic and cultural life.
