Abstract:

Early church music followed several forms; lining out, or having a leader sing a line for the congregation to repeat; setting hymns to known ballads; and using shape-NOTE_tunebooks. After the Civil War, changes in both black and white churches included the use of organs, pianos, and choirs.
