A Short History of Music in the Church, Part 2

Codification of Church Music

In this Sunday School Lesson on Church music from Cornerstone Presbyterian, we go through a quick overview of liturgical and musical reforms by Ambrose and Gregory, Augustine and Boethius. This includes the parts of the mass and how they were linked to Psalms and Scripture readings as well as the idea of the Music of the Spheres.

“Only by the exercise of reason and contemplation can one come to comprehend what is good in music.”

—Quentin Faulkner, Wiser Than Despair

Here is a link to the second lesson.
