Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the textual and structural sequence of a musical piece called Religious Cacophony, which is a merger of Christian chorale and Islamic chant. The musical piece, which is based on the musical play 'Pathway to Peace,' is a creative approach to conflict resolution. The Cacophony depicts a tense battle between two religious sects in the midst of a crisis. Despite the fact that the piece is in a modern African arts framework, it employs both Western and African compositional techniques, as evidenced by the rhythm, vocal, and instrumental lines. The importance of the study is due to the numerous obstacles that musicologists face when examining songs with complex features. As the composition follows the documentary side, the study employs historical, survey, and analytical methodologies. The outcomes of the study show that when diverse types of music are properly quantized, they can be merged and blended in harmony, and that even if the composition is complex, there is a high chance of form prediction. The piece is written in Arabic and English, with an African and Western flavor to the instrumental portion. In addition, the main melody is an excerpt from G. F. Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, Holly Holy from the SS&S Hymnal, and Allah Ku hak'ubar, a Popular Chant from the Muslim prayer. According to the findings, the composition is constructed on a through-composed foundation that includes both vocal and instrumental material.
