Excerpt from Gregorian Chant: A Textbook for Seminaries, Novitiates and Secondary SchoolsIt is readily understood of course that the Infant Church could not promote a notable advancement in liturgical music during the period of ruthless persecution. And still it seems quite certain that even in the catacombs hymns were used in connection with religious worship. Tertullian and later Eusebius, Augustine and Jerome more over give testimony regarding the traditional custom Of the Church in sponsoring antiphonal and responsorial chant as well as the sing ing of hymns in relation to sacred service.After the period of early trial and tribulation the Church was free to foster a definite type of liturgical chant which in content, form and spirit would be appropriate particularly in praising and glorifying God. And the Church, as history convincingly testifies, took full advantage of this Opportunity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
