Video of Second Class on Music in the Church, the 16th Century

Music in the Church, Part II from William Wingfield on Vimeo.

The second class in the series was on music during the 16th century. We talked about congregational singing and what tunes make for confident congregational participation, rhyming and metering Psalm texts, setting hymn texts to secular tunes, and syncopation. I played a little jazz rendition of "A Mighty Fortress."
