The articles here deal with liturgical music. Two topics receive
special attention: the curiously negative role that musical
instruments play in ancient cult music and the development of
ecclesiastical song in early Christianity. The first series of
articles treats classical Greek ethical notions of instruments, the
status of instruments in Temple and Synagogue, and the absence of
instruments from early Christian and medieval church music. The
next parts trace the psalmody and hymnody of the Christian
tradition, from its roots in Judaism to the origins of Gregorian
chant in 7th-century Rome. Throughout, the writings of the
Christian Church fathers such as Augustine, Ambrose, Basil and John
Chrysostom underpin the author's analysis and presentation.
