E223: History of Church Music, Pt. 1 (with Andrew Pressley)

In this epsiode, Duffey is joined by Andrew Pressley for a discussion on the history of music throughout the ages. This is epsiode Part 1 and considers the music of the Early Church and into the Middle Ages (the Medieval Church). On this epsiode, they try to address questions and common concerns like:

• How can God's people today think well about the music of the church?
• How can we think well about form and style of music in the church?
• How can we think better about instrumentation and accompaniment in church music today?
• Should we use instruments in worship services? If so, which ones?
• Should we sing in unison or with harmonies?
• Should we sing together (congregationally) or rely upon professionals to do the singing for us?

All of these questions, and many more, have been asked since the time of the Apostles and the first century and will continue to be asked as long as the church remains. Tune in for a (hopefully) informative conversation!
