Abstract
A hymn must be sung to be heard ... : Aspects that could influence the reception of hymns and psalms. The most recent official hymnal in Afrikaans, Liedboek van die Kerk, was taken into use in 2001. Some hymns and psalms were immediately sung with enthusiasm whereas others remained unused, which is true especially for many of the metrical psalms. The most prominent reason for not singing some hymns or psalms is that they are unknown – text as well as tune. It is, however, often assumed that the reason why hymns and psalms are unknown is primarily because their tunes would be too difficult to sing. The role of the text and other aspects are not taken into account sufficiently. In this article, these one-sided views regarding the tunes are challenged, and it is argued that there could be many other reasons why hymns and psalms are not used.

Mense wat ’n preek hoor, luister daarna teen ’n bepaalde agtergrond en mense wat aan die sang in die erediens deelneem, hoor dit teen die agtergrond van ander liedere wat hulle ken of voorheen gehoor het. ’n Lied word dus nie bloot aan die sangers ‘gegee’ nie
Die leser kan die moeite doen en hierdie psalm soos dit in die Liedboek opgeneem is in die geheel probeer sing – as voorbeeld waar aangetoon kan word dat baie van die probleme vir liturgiese funksionering in die tekste lê en juis nié in die musiek nie, en dat dit dus eerder die rede is waarom dit nié gesing word nie

As liedere nie konkreet gebruik word nie, kan dit gewoon museumstukke in ’n kas bly: ’n pronkstuk vir die samestellers en mooi vir vertoon, maar ongebruik. Dit is dus ’n goeie tyd om bestekopname te doen en te probeer bepaal waarom sekere liedere inklank gevind het en waarom sekere liedere nié gesing word nie
