Rockwell Christmas
There is virtually no record of the first Christian church music, except a few New Testament fragments of what are probably hymns. Some of these fragments are still sung as hymns today in the Orthodox Church as "awake Awake, O sleeper" on the occasion of the baptism of a person.
Jesus, Jew, and his disciples would be more likely to have sung the psalms from memory. However, without a centralized music industry, the repertoire of ordinary people was much greater than it is today, so they probably knew other songs too. The early Christians continued to sing the psalms, all that is sang in synagogues in the first century.
Aside from hymns taken from the Bible itself, the first hymn still in use today is probably O joyful light (from the Greek Phos Hilaron). In the fourth century, Basil the Great referred to it as already being a rather old hymn.
Some of the popularity of Arianism in the fourth century can be attributed to the catchy songs that the priest Arius composed in its support. The popularity of the songs helped increase the popularity of his teachings. Efren Syria consists of a series of hymns later in the fourth century that eventually became recognized as orthodox doctrine.
Troparia and Kontakia first two forms of hymns that she joined the worship of the Church.
In celebration of V Ecumenical Council, Emperor Justinian I is reputed to have composed a hymn that summarizes the conclusion of the Council, the only begotten Son. This hymn was already incorporated in the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and is still sung today.
The tradition of Christian hymns in the English language is closely tied to Protestantism. Protestant hymns can range from the Reformation organ pieces of JS Bach to the American folk hymns in The Sacred Harp. Martin Luther composed a number of hymns in the 16th century, reportedly borrowing some of his melodies songs popular tavern tavern of that period.
Another famous hymn composer is Charles Wesley, brother of John Wesley. Some hymns, particularly Christmas carols, are widely adopted by various denominations while many hymns are restricted to certain religious traditions. In some cases this is due to doctrinal differences reflected in the words of the song but in many cases is the result of tradition and the use of denominational hymnals produced or approved.
The use of hymns was a factor in several historic schisms among Protestant denominations more traditional members insisting on using only the psalms in the service.
