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 KZreads are excellent. You elaborate just enough that holds our attention. I am learning so much.

This is fantastic, music and Christian history!

Almost as if music is not a gift from god, and has whatever meaning we, the humans that make the music, give it.

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!

What a great summary of the spread of Christianity!

Great learning

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.

These videos are great and bring to life material that can get rather dry. My undergraduate students really enjoy them!

Great infographics and other multimedia to go with the narration. Keep 'em coming!

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...

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.

Very interesting stuff. Helps to be told what to look for when listening.

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! :--}>

www.scuoladicantogregoriano.it/images/sheets/Epi_gra.jpg 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.

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 !

Why the overblown pause to reflect on Harry Potter? Very out of synch and gives undue spotlight to it.

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'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.

Hello keep it classical, can you please give me your research paper for this. I need your awesome idea i music. Thanks in advance.

at 3:40… what makes you think it’s “probably not” true ?

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.

❤️🇺🇲

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

“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.

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.
