The church played a significant role in the development of Western music, particularly during the medieval and Renaissance periods. During this time, much of the music composed was for religious ceremonies and services. For example, Gregorian chant, which originated in the Catholic Church, was one of the earliest forms of written music in Western culture.
Scripture reference: Colossians 3:16 – “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
