The Singing Church

4.9/5 (12995 ratings)

Description:"The Singing Church" is an attempt to trace the role the congregation has played in the musical part of the service, starting with Old Testament Temple worship and leading up to the present time. The emphasis has been on pointing out progress toward congregational hymn singing as known in most churches today. Publications, authors of hymns, and composers have been referred to particularly when these played an important role in achieving this objective.While the singing of hymns was early identified with Christian ceremony, this practice became the main concern of the congregation as the Reformation took root in the sixteenth century. This movement became the fountain head of two main streams of church song: hymnody as practiced by the followers of Luther and psalmody which became the popular church song in the various groups under Calvin's leadership and influence.Since the Lutherans accepted the idea of extrascriptural hymns from the start, this study is concerned with their hymn singing only in so far as solutions had to be found to certain problems which arose from time to time. The major emphasis from the period of the Reformation and onward deals, therefore, with the gradual transition from the exclusive singing of rhymed versions of the Psalms to the dinging of hymns in the various bodies of the church having Calvinistic background. The use of the organ as an adjunct in this activity is also referred to.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
