Old English Music.

Long before the stream of Norman
minstrel art sacred music was exercis-
ing n beneficial influence. The early
British church possessed sacred music.
but this was gradually driven out before
the onward march of that new church
music which Augustine brought with
him from Rome A. ID. 597). The Gre
gorian music (evolved by Pope Gregory
out Of the Greek tetrachcrds and some
existing AmbroSian chants) was heard
and loved wherever Augustine and his
monks built church. BY its means a
deep impression was left upon the minds
of those who heard and joined in it. but
it is curious that we miss altogether the
ecclesiastical flavor in the earliest ex-
amples that have come down TO us Of
English music during the first quarter
of the thirteenth century.
The free and uncontrolled secular mu-
sic was the first TO reflect itself in per-
manent manuscript form. Church music
per Sc was not progressive; the church
tones for the service" and "mass" mu-
sic We're fixed. and only heretical Of
fense was the outcome of tampering
