Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the evolution of church music, beginning with its origins in biblical times through its gradual development throughout history. The author posits that the heart of church music lies in the use of a monotone or chanted melody, as it allows for congregational participation and reinforces the sacred nature of the service. The author cites Church Fathers, leaders of the Reformation, and even non-liturgical experts to argue that choral services enhance the worship experience, drawing on historical documents and musical compositions to illustrate changing styles. By examining the historical and theological significance of church music, this book offers a compelling argument for a return to choral worship as an expression of devotion.
