Summary
Remember the old hymns? The really old hymns? Christian music is rooted in the Temple of Jerusalem and Greco-Roman Antiquity. Gregorian chant united Christian worship under Charlemagne and influenced the artistic and intellectual development of European culture. Gaining familiarity with just three aspects of this history allows a teacher to open this heritage to students.
