To God be the glory wonder music and presentation may The Lord of GoD almighty richly bless thee!
Super accurate and quick description of church history. It provides essential context for most pre-Renaissance music.
Your videos will be shown to my students who are now learning about ancient music at the State of Para, Amazon, Brazil. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Your RUclipss are excellent. You elaborate just enough that holds our attention. I am learning so much.
This is fantastic, music and Christian history!
Thank you so much!
These videos are great and bring to life material that can get rather dry. My undergraduate students really enjoy them!
I found this so interesting, you put it all together wonderfully. I've been looking at hymns to learn with fingerpicking guitar and was interested in what the earliest surviving ones are. You got me on the right track. I've also studied a lot of church history and your summary put it all together in one tight storyline which was fantastic. I'm going to have to watch this a few times more, there's so much to absorb. Thanks!
I absolutely love your channel!!!! Thank you ⚘
Oh we gonna get crazy!! Love it!
*crazy eyes*
Brilliant! Glad I found your channel.
Thank you again, Matthew!
Thank you for sharing. This was very informative.
Great infographics and other multimedia to go with the narration. Keep 'em coming!
Glad you like em! Some of them take me a lot of work!
What a great summary of the spread of Christianity!
This video is gold
Great learning
Really excellent - Thank you!
You got a LOL out of me for the Harry Potter reference! X) great work!
Why can't it be real?! *sobs*
I enjoyed this.
Pretty sure that story about the Holy Spirit inspiring Gregorian chant is true, though. 😇
Certainly, the music itself is a gift of the Holy Spirit. The specific part about Pope St. Gregory the Great writing the music down, however, is likely apocryphal, as the earliest European music notation dates back to the 800s, two centuries after his death. Thus, for him to have written them down would require us to postulate a musical notation for which we have no evidence besides this one story. That being said, I think it probable that Gregory was indeed given chants which were then disseminated through Christendom orally, though that is strictly conjecture in my part.
Very interesting stuff. Helps to be told what to look for when listening.
Getting better at that!
thank you very much for all these info. i think you have to do more detailed and longer programs. there is really a dearth of information on all hese topics...
"Music is a gift from God and meant for worship and prayer." They might cry if they heard most music today....
Yeah, that idea certainly didn't prevail with most of society.
@BVale listening to cacophonies of swearing, the N word, sexually explicit, violent lyrics performed by half-dressed, pornographic no-talent numbskulls. Well, some of them, anyway.
Almost as if music is not a gift from god, and has whatever meaning we, the humans that make the music, give it.
Excellent video!
Jacob Orchard Thanks!
Matthew. Thank you. 😀
Thanks!
In Hebrew Cantillation, is the joint root of both spoken word and intonation. The melody of the scriptures was logocentric, so that the melody is as inseparable from the message as are the attitude with which the words were said. When you speak angrily, how does your voice rise and fall? When you sing a baby to sleep, how does it then?
You can compose music from your own speaking voice. Record it: listen back to the intervals that your voice travels along from beginning to end of your sentence. Set it to a mode that does justice to the occasion or mood, and simply map your syllables to the notes, respecting your rises and falls and their relative distances! And there you have a personal cantillation.
That's so cool to think about! Indeed, all music is made up of tones of voice. The different moods in everything from symphonies to folk songs, are composed of different "tones of voice," per se.
Thank you.
Any recommended book to read about music in early Christianity would be appreciated. I am looking one/many for references.
Thank you for an interesting and fun video! I would very much like to learn about the origins of christian music. Are the origins the same for catholic church, ortodox, the churches if caucasus, the coptics? .. and so on.
I haven't mentioned this yet, but very happy with your John Adams intro music.
Thanks! It's a personal favorite.
Hello keep it classical, can you please give me your research paper for this. I need your awesome idea i music. Thanks in advance.
casually watching this for DMA entrance exams because MY GROUT STILL HASN'T COME IN THE MAIL
I feel the pain. Best of luck with the entrance exams!
I'm studying Hebrew chant for my MSc, innovating new statistical methods for comparing melodies! There have recently been some credible comparisons of Jewish chant and Christian chant from around the world. If you want my English translation of Regina Randhofer's dissertation on the topic, reply to me and I can link or email it to you. It has many transcriptions into staff notation.
Hi: I loved your synopsis of Church history, and then of the Christian calendar.
1) When Paul speaks of "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs" [Ephesians 5:19] , in the NT Church, do you take these to be three discrete categories?
2) I keep wondering about the notation that was used in different periods, and how accurately we are able to figure out what the ancient tunes actually were. I presume you have done a video on this.
Many blessings!

The notation in red in this image is the first type of notation used for Gregorian Chant. It required knowledge of the chant prior to reading the notation.
The four-line notation is the most well known notation for Gregorian chant, and is still used as the primary method of notation for this music, although some people do use a more modern 5-staff notation adapted to work with plainchant.
at 3:40… what makes you think it’s “probably not” true ?
The video has interesting parts. But is impressive how people misunderstand the Church 🤦🏻
Interesting take on the subject. Surprising sometimes. I´ve never thought of Hildegard as being historically significant for example and you don´t mention monasticism in connection with chant.
Search Byzantine Chant !
❤️🇺🇲
Thank you for this. BTW, it’s pronounced uh-GUSS-tin when you’re talking about the saint. The city in Florida is pronounced AW-gus-teen. Don’t ask me why.
Actually it was not intended for the Bishop of Rome to be head of all Bishops. They claimed that themselves and split the church in two.
Why the overblown pause to reflect on Harry Potter? Very out of synch and gives undue spotlight to it.
May I translate this video to portuguese?
Like how in your video you pretty much doubt Christianity it's like you can't even talk about it for 5 min with expressing the doubt you have lol god bless tho for the info pretty informative i appreciate that part
HvB is the one
“But don’t worry you don’t have to be Christian to appreciate or understand this music.” Why would that even be an issue to mention? Maybe only for the atheists?🤔
I mean, it might seem obvious to you and I, but I got this question a lot in my music/teaching career.
Or those of ALL the OTHER faiths besides Christian. Why assume that it is only Christian or atheist who would benefit from listening to this video?
Most of the world's population is NOT Christian.
“Morality play“ - allegory, right?
A morality play is when someone is guilty of something and tries to say they’re justified
No. A morality play is a specific literary genre featuring a character named Everyman going through various challenges and mixing with personifications of
virtues and vices.
@@kelkabot Oh, I see. Thanks.
Pretty hilarious when westerners call Hildegard “early”😂
Hymn singing is essentially Protestant. Catholics have an instinct against it. That instinct has to do with the nature of liturgical worship.
