Breve historiografia do gênero musical missa no Brasil e as três missas nordestinas do movimento armorial.

This article is part of a larger research aimed at mapping the Masses composed outside ecclesiastical environments. The text undertakes a brief historiography of such genre in Brazil based on some post-Vatican II inculturation efforts without the intention of offering a state of the art, but rather, with the intention of disseminating and informing researchers interested in the subject, especially liturgists, musicians and pastoralists, about the great fertility of Brazilian culture and its potential to resist the globalized trend of "gospel praise", which also affects certain sectors of Brazilian Catholicism with the "singing Fathers". The article also presents an overview of the Armorial Movement and highlights three Masses composed by authors linked to this movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
