About this book
Edward Dickinson, professor of music history at Oberlin College, asks how worship has used song in the Western Church. First issued in 1902, it begins with religious music among ancient peoples and moves through early Christian ritual to the chant and Mass of the Catholic Church.
Further chapters turn to Lutheran hymnody, the German cantata and Passion, Johann Sebastian Bach, church music in England, and congregational singing in England and America. The last chapter treats problems of church music in America.
