Summary/Abstract: A summary of confidential narrations by the inhabitants of the village of Murafa (Podolia). Narrations describing national and religious identity and expressing a longing for certain lucidly outlined aesthetic stands are embroiled in an unofficial debate, almost excluded from the official discourse. The space in which this conflict takes place is the interior of the Roman Catholic church in Murafa, with liturgical music as a sphere reflecting these narrations. The researcher conducting field studies is steered to the functioning of the conflict involving musical aesthetics by empirical moments of ritually co-experiencing a profound social game, a certain subliminal network of interpersonal interactions between groups and the individual, and between space and the sacrum. Following those interactions via condensed and detailed descriptions of the most expressive scenes of the aesthetic conflict make it possible to devise a typology of musical-religious experience in the Roman Catholic part of Murafa.
