The urgency of environmental issues has become a widespread discussion among academics and practitioners, both nationally and internationally. Academically, various perspectives have been offered. In music studies, ecomusicology is an extra-musical breakthrough that can answer the challenges of environmental issues. Ecomusicologists strive to compose musical works that express love for nature and foster a sense of friendship towards nature and non-human creatures. In Christian theology, theological reflection on ecology is called eco-theology and has undergone many developments in the last few decades. This article attempts to explain the potential of ecomusicology for church music by locating it in dialogue with eco-theology. This paper argues that eco-theology can enrich ecomusicology by reflecting on the relationship between God, humans, and nature. It also encourages church musicians to create eco-musicological compositions about nature and make them an integral part of their composition.
Abstrak
Urgensi isu lingkungan sudah menjadi perbincangan ramai baik di kalangan akademisi maupun praktisi dalam skala nasional maupun internasional. Secara akademis, berbagai sudut pandang telah ditawarkan. Dalam konteks studi musik, ekomusikologi merupakan sebuah terobosan ekstra-musikal dalam rangka menjawab tantangan isu pencemaran lingkungan. Para ekomusikolog berupaya untuk menggubah karya-karya musikal yang menyuarakan kecintaan kepada alam dan menumbuhkan rasa persahabatan dalam hati manusia terhadap alam dan makhluk non-manusia di dalamnya. Dalam dunia teologi Kristen, refleksi teologis terhadap alam disebut sebagai ekoteologi dan telah mengalami banyak perkembangan beberapa dekade terakhir ini. Artikel ini berupaya untuk memaparkan potensi ekomusikologi bagi musik gereja dengan mempercakapkannya bersama ekoteologi. Tulisan ini berargumen bahwa ekoteologi da-pat memperkaya ekomusikologi dalam merefleksikan relasi Allah, manusia, dan alam serta mendorong para musikus gereja untuk menciptakan komposisi ekomusikologi yang tidak hanya bermusik tentang alam namun juga bermusik bersama alam.
