Many used secular tunes or were parodies. Chorales gave rise to the distinctive style of the Lutheran motets. Jean Calvin opposed the retention of Catholic liturgy, although he. Chose Psalms set to newly-composed or popular music. Unison, unaccompanied in the service. Sung at home in four parts. The use of Psalters spread throughout the Reformed tradition.

Most histories of Christian worship are written as if nothing significant in liturgical history ever happened in North America, as if cultural diversities were insignificant in the development of worship, and as if most of what mattered were words the priest or minister addressed to God. This book is a revisionist work, attempting to give new direction to liturgical history by treating the experience of worship of the people in the pews as the primary liturgical document.
It means liturgical history written facing the other way--that is, looking into the chancel rather than out of it. Relishing the liturgical diversity of recent centuries as firm evidence of Christianity's ability to adapt to a wide variety of peoples and places, Professor White shows that this tendency has been apparent in Christian worship since its inception in the New Testament churches. Instead of imposing one tradition's criteria on worship, he tries to give a balanced and comprehensive approach to the development of the dozen or more traditions surviving in the modern world.
