Britten’s War Requiem was written for performance in a cathedral, but it was not meant to be part of a service of worship, so it would not usually be thought of as “church music”.
Church music has varied enormously during the history of Christianity as different churches kept changing their ideas about what part music should have in religious worship.
Most church music is based on singing.
Music written for church choirs mostly used the words of the liturgy (the words used in services).
The organ is the most important musical instrument in church music, although from time to time many other instruments have been used as well.
During  many periods in history composers writing for the church used traditional music rather than the newest fashions.
This was particularly the case in the early 17th century when composers such as Claudio Monteverdi often wrote in two different styles: the old style for church music (which, at the time, they called “stilo antico”) and the new style for secular (non-religious) music (which they called “stilo moderno”).
Music in the early history of the church
During the early history of Christian worship the churches were spread through many countries in the Roman Empire.
The musical traditions that already existed in these countries were used, so there was great variety.
Musical instruments were associated with the devil and with dancing, and so they were thought to be wicked and were not allowed in churches.
The only music that was allowed in churches was singing.
In the 4th century Bishop Ambrosius of Milan introduced the antiphon and encouraged newly composed hymns.
Psalms were an important part of the early Christian worship.
Responsorial psalms were psalms which were sung by one person (who may have been called a “reader”), and the congregation may have responded at the end of a verse with something simple such as “Alleluia”.
Gradually “antiphonal psalmody” was developed.
This meant that the choir stands on opposite sides facing one another and they sing the verses of the psalm alternately (first one side has a turn, then the other).
Antiphonal psalm singing can still be heard today in Anglican cathedrals.
The kind of music heard in the Catholic Church was known as chant or plainchant, often known as “Gregorian chant” (after St Gregory the Great, who was Pope from 590-604).
The text (the words that were sung) were the standard words of the liturgy.
The words of the Mass were set to music by many composers.
Music for the dead was called Requiem Mass. There was also music for Vespers and the Compline.
Until the 16th century the organ was only used to accompany the singing.
In the Renaissance period many great composers such as Giovanni da Palestrina and Orlande de Lassus wrote polyphonic music for the Catholic Church.
They often wrote motets: short pieces based on texts which were not part of the liturgy.
During the period called Reformation some Protestant groups broke away from the Catholic Church.
From this time on Catholic and Protestant music developed in different ways.
Protestant Church Music
Martin Luther started the Protestant movement in Germany.
In the Lutheran church the chorale was the most important part of the musical worship.
Luther himself composed many chorale tunes.
These are like hymns.
The great Johann Sebastian Bach based much of his organ music on the chorale (these pieces are called Chorale Preludes).
The choir often sang a motet.
Sometimes these choir pieces became very long and turned into cantatas.
The words were not from the liturgy but made up by poets or taken from the Bible.
Bach wrote about 200 cantatas for the church.
He also wrote two great passions which tell the story of Jesus dying on the cross.
Other composers who have contributed to Protestant church music in Europe include Heinrich Schütz, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck,  Dietrich Buxtehude, Johann Pachelbel, and Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.
Music for the Catholic Church includes instrumental music such as “church cantatas”.
Arcangelo Corelli and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote many examples of these.
Mozart also wrote several masses.
Great Italian composers of the 16th and 17th centuries who wrote church music include Giovanni Gabrieli and  Claudio Monteverdi.
In the 19th century Rheinberger and  Max Reger wrote music in the Romantic style.
French composers of this time wrote in a style which was similar to secular music.
Church Music in England
When King Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church he founded his own church, known as the Anglican church.
Many great composers wrote music for the Anglican service.
Their music for choirs was mostly service settings and anthems.
They also wrote many hymn tunes.
Important composers include  William Byrd (who also wrote Catholic church music) and Thomas Tallis in the Renaissance, Orlando Gibbons and Henry Purcell in the Baroque period, and in later periods Samuel Sebastian Wesley, Charles Stanford, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Edward Bairstow, William Mathias and John Rutter.
Church Music in the United States
Church music in American churches developed, at first, in a similar way to European music.
The Book of Common Prayer was the basis of American worship.
Both Puritans and Baptists thought that congregational singing was important.
In the 18th century Singing Masters from Singing Schools in the north eastern states used to travel around to try to teach people in church to sing properly.
The most famous of these singing masters was William Billings.
Because most people could not read, a system called Lined-out Hymnody developed, in which the priest sang a line and the congregation copied him.
Later in the century, during the “First Great Awakening”, the hymn tunes of English composers such as Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley became popular.
In the 19th century people from different churches met at Camp Meetings.
These were led by Evangelists.
The songs reflect the belief that sinners can be saved by repenting.
The music of  black people and of folk music became important influences.
Songs became tuneful and often had refrains.
In the middle of the century Sunday Schools for children became extremely popular and many songs were written for them.
Gospel songs and negro spirituals also became very widely used and influenced the development of church music in America.
Church Music in the Orthodox Church
Church music in the Orthodox Church in East European countries is always sung.
It is based on the Byzantine musical tradition.

Digital divide is the gap between parts of the world where access to information technology is very different.
There are technologies like internet, mobile phones, computers and Wi-Fi in some parts of the world, and in other parts there are not.
It is the difference of people that can access the internet, and the people that cannot.
Countries on the rich side of the divide include Canada, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Europe and Australasia.
They have big internet connection developments, and most people can afford computers and other technology.
On the poor side are Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where there are many social problems.
Technology has a long way to go before getting interest in those countries, because of problems like the price of technology and the fact that sometimes there are not any resources to help.
Inner conflict
In some parts of the world there is a large digital divide.
Sometimes it is just in half of a country, or just a region, for example Africa.
As with other things like education or transport, some people have things that others don't have.
There are big cities where technologies are cheap and there are many villages and rural communities where there is no digital/electronic technology.
In this case the digital divide creates other problems.
Because a part of the country is rich and another part is poor, there are often problems with trading and connections.

A decibel (or dB) measures ratios of power or intensity.
It expresses them as an exponential function.
One bel is a power ratio of 10:1, and is divided into ten decibels.
An increase of three decibels is approximately a doubling of power.
Decibels are often used in measuring telecommunication signals.
With electric audio signals, there are several decibel units, relative to several bases.
For example, dBm is relative to one milliwatt.
The bel unit was named after Alexander Graham Bell.
This unit was so rough that it is more typical to use the decibel, which is one bel divided by ten.
Before bels, there was the Transmission Unit (TU).
Examples and Protection
Often, decibels are used to say how loud a sound is relative to the threshold of hearing.
The decibel is not an SI unit.
The table here uses dBSPL as units of sound to indicate consensus on hearing protection.
Some examples of sounds are:
Hearing protection can also be used to shield from ear damage.
This table gives some safe limits for the level of sound so that the ears are not damaged.

Duck Hunt is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game system.
The game was made by Nintendo, and was released in 1984 in Japan.
In Duck Hunt, players use the NES Zapper to shoot ducks on screen to get points.
The ducks come onto the screen one or two at a time, and the player is given three shots to shoot them down.
Duck Hunt was one of the two first Pack-in games for the NES.
The game did not get many reviews, but many gamers enjoyed playing it, and many people said it was a good game.
Before Nintendo made the game, it also made a Duck Hunt game about the Laser Clay Shooting System released in 1976.
In Duck Hunt, players use the Nintendo Zapper Light Gun that must be plugged into their NES consoles.
Then they try to shoot down ducks or clay pigeons.
Duck Hunt was also released as an arcade game in 1984, and was also in the PlayChoice-10 arcade console.
The game has three modes: one-duck mode, with only one duck on the screen; two-duck mode, with two on the screen; and a third mode called "clay pigeon shooting".
The clay pigeons are much smaller than the ducks and are harder to hit.
Players need faster reaction time when playing this mode than when shooting ducks.
In Vs.
Duck Hunt, Clay Shooting mode is the second mode after two-duck mode, because the arcade Duck Hunt games never had a one-duck mode.
During the game, there is a dog that laughs at the player if no duck is hit.
If the player hits a duck, the dog will congratulate them.
A popular urban legend is that players have found a way to shoot the dog.
This cannot happen in Duck Hunt, but it can happen in a bonus round of the arcade game Vs.
Duck Hunt.
Duck Hunt does not have a way for more than one person to shoot ducks, but a second player may plug in a NES controller in the other controller port and control the duck that appears.
This only can happen in one-duck mode, and can not be done with the clay pigeons.
Nobody knows much about the development of Duck Hunt, but Nintendo Research & Development 1 made the game.
They also created the Light Gun used in Duck Hunt.
Work on the game was led by Takehiro Izushi, and was produced by Gunpei Yokoi.
Packaging and music
Duck Hunt has been placed in several cartridges with more than one game.
In the Action Set cartridge of the NES in the 1980s, Duck Hunt came with Super Mario Bros.. If a player bought the NES system with the Power Pad, then Duck Hunt came on a 3-in-1 cartridge that also had World Class Track Meet and Super Mario Bros.
The music was composed, or written, by Koji Kondo and Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka.
Both men made music for other Nintendo games at the time, such as Metroid.
Some people have called the sound effects, "pretty much what you'd expect for a game from the early 1980s - that is, awful by today's standards...", but the game's music was played on the Video Games Live concert tour.
Because it was made in the 1980's, Duck Hunt did not get very many reviews.
Most critics have not reviewed Duck Hunt.
All Game Guide called the game an "attractive but repetitive target shooter" and "utterly mindless ... the game is fun for a short time, but gets old after a few rounds of play."
Video Game Critic, another website, gave the game a review in 2004, scoring the game a "D".
It said, "there's really not much substance to it ... overall Duck Hunt is pretty lame, and only worth playing for a trip down memory lane."
Video game players say that they like the game.
IGN users gave it an 8.7 out of 10, and the GameSpot users gave the Mario-Duck Hunt cartridge a 9.1 out of 10.
It was rated the 155th best game made on a Nintendo System in Nintendo Powers Top 200 Games list.
Duck Hunt, and the characters in it, have been in other video games since the game first came out in the 1980s.
The dog in Duck Hunt has appeared in Barker Bill's Trick Shooting and can be shot in the "Balloon Saloon" game.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, a trophy shows the ducks from Duck Hunt.
Also, games in the WarioWare, Inc. series have games about Duck Hunt.
Level 19 in Tetris DS is also about Duck Hunt
One of the games in Wii Play for the Wii console is Shooting, a game that is similar to Duck Hunt.
The game replaces the light gun used in the NES game with the Wii controller, and it has a targeting reticle that Duck Hunt did not have.
The new game also has different things to shoot, such as UFOs and targets, and has a two player mode.

Hybrid Theory is the first studio album and third overall album by Linkin Park.
It was released on June 12, 2000.
Before Linkin Park was known as "Linkin Park," they were known as Xero.
After Mark Wakefield left Xero, Chester Bennington joined, and their name was changed to "Hybrid Theory."
They produced a demo tape with nine songs and sent it to several record companies, but they all refused to sponsor Linkin Park.
Eventually, they were signed by Warner Bros. Records in 2000.
About the songs
Most of the songs on Hybrid Theory came from early versions of them that Xero recorded with Mark Wakefield.
The songs were mostly about Chester Bennington's problems as a child, such as child abuse, social isolation, the divorce of his parents, and drug abuse.
Bennington and Mike Shinoda have said that the songs turned into songs about "everyday emotions that you talk about and think about."
In 2002, all of the songs were remixed for Linkin Park's fourth album, Reanimation.
"Papercut"
"Points of Authority"
"Crawling"
"By Myself"
"In the End"
"A Place for My Head
"Forgotten"
"Cure for the Itch"
"Pushing me Away"
Three of the songs from Hybrid Theory were released as singles: "One Step Closer,"  "Papercut," and "In the End."
They were all very popular and appeared on charts. "
Runaway" was not a single, but it also appeared on charts.
Critics' opinions of Hybrid Theory
Critics had mixed opinions of Hybrid Theory.
The magazines Rolling Stone, PopMatters, The Village Voice and Sputnikmusic liked the album.
Robert Christgau from The Village Voice enjoyed listening to "Papercut" and "Points of Authority."
However, Allmusic and NME did not like the album.
They thought it was a generic rock and heavy metal album, and not very creative.
Hybrid Theory EP is an EP by the American nu metal/alternative rock band Linkin Park that was recorded and released in 1999.
At this time, Linkin Park were called Hybrid Theory, making this EP a self-titled EP named after the band.
It was Linkin Park's first record.
Before it, in 1997, the band only made a demo tape called Xero.
The band changed its name later in 1999, after Chester Bennington replaced Mark Wakefield as the lead singer.
About the EP
Only one thousand were made, and the EP was sent to different record labels, such as Warner Bros. Records.
The rest of the copies of the EP were sent to the first members of Linkin Park's fan club.
On November 19, 2001, Linkin Park Underground, Linkin Park's fan club, was made.
The first fan club package that was sent to members had a new edition of Hybrid Theory EP, with a note from the band.
The first 500 copies of the CD were signed by all 6 members of the band.
The only ways to get the EP are to buy it from eBay, or win a contest in the Linkin Park Underground when the EP is awarded as a contest prize.
But the prizes awarded by the LPU are the original EP.

San José de Ocoa is a Dominican province; it is on the southern side of the Cordillera Central ("Central mountain range").
Its capital has the same name, San José de Ocoa.
It was created on 6 September 2000 but it started on 1 January 2001.
It was a municipality of the Peravia province before being raised to the category of province.
The province is named after its capital city, San José de Ocoa.
Ocoa is the name of the river that crosses the province; it is a Taíno word that means "a place with many mountains".
Bartolomé de Las Casas was the first person that wrote about the region when he said that Maniey (now, Maniel) was a Taíno province.
Maniey or Maniel meant "a place where there are peanuts"; mani ( (Spanish) is the Taíno word for peanut.
Peter Martyr d'Anghiera did not write about the Maniey but he wrote about a lake in the region of Rancho Arriba; there is not a lake (or lakes) there anymore, only a swamp.
For a long time, the region was visited only by monteros (men that hunted wild cows and pigs).
Then some maroons (runaway slaves) came to live here, in the high mountains of the region.
One settlement was called Maniel; since then, Maniel meant in Hispaniola a place where maroons live and not only the name of the region.
The first settlement by maroons in the region is from the beginning of the 16th century and was called Maniel Viejo de Ocoa.
This settlement lasted until 1666 or 1667 because many people died from smallpox and measles that affected the island in those years.
There was also a military action in the region to capture maroons.
The second settlement was during the first years of the 19th century (around 1802), and it is known as Maniel de los Lorenzos ("Lorenzos' Maniel") because of the last name ("Lorenzo") of its founders.
It was founded at El Canal, north of the city of San José de Ocoa.
During the Dominican War of Independence (1844), there were two important battles in the region: the battles of El Memiso and of El Pinar, won by Dominican soldiers.
So the Haitian soldiers could not go on to Santo Domingo, and had to go back to Haiti.
In December 1858, San José de Ocoa was made a municipality of the old province of Santo Domingo; in 1895, it was changed to a municipality of the Azua province.
With the creation of the Peravia, San José de Ocoa was a municipality of that new province.
Then, on 6 September 2000, San José de Ocoa was made a new province with the northern half of the Peravia province and with the municipalities of San José de Ocoa, Rancho Arriba and Sabana Larga, and the municipal district of La Ciénaga.
In  (last national census), there were  people living in the San José de Ocoa province, and 37,466 () living in towns and cities.
Its population represents  of the total population of the country and the province is ranked as the 29th (out of 31 plus the National District) more populated province.
The San José de Ocoa province has a total area of .
It has  of the area of the Dominican Republic and it is ranked as the 26th (out of 31 plus the National District) largest province.
The altitude of the provincial capital, San José de Ocoa, is  above sea level.
The main economic activity of the province is farming; the main products are coffee, beans and potatoes.
Other vegetables, such as cabbage and carrots, are also grown as well as some tropical fruits (avocado and mango).

An orphaned long-neck dinosaur named Littlefoot goes off in search of the legendary Great Valley, a place with many plants where dinosaurs live in peace.
Along the way, he meets four other young dinosaurs, each one a different species.
They encounter several problems as they learn to work together and survive.
Littlefoot: The leader of the gang, Littlefoot is a "long-neck," the in-universe name for Brontosaurus.
He is brave, and good at making decisions.
He lives with his grandparents in the Great Valley.
Cera: A "three-horn," also known as a Triceratops.
She is stubborn and does not trust easily.
She is the most aggressive of the group.
She lives with her father for most of the movies, but gains a new mother in the 11th movie and a younger sister in the 12th movie.
Ducky: Ducky has been called a "Swimmer," "Big Mouth," and "Duckfoot" on screen, so it is not known for sure what kind of dinosaur Ducky is.
She looks most like a Saurolophus, but she is called a Parasaurolophus on the Land Before Time Website .
She is the nicest of the group, and trusts others easily.
She lives with her mother (though her father does not appear) and says in the sixth film that she is one of thirteen twins, although the original series tht she is one of four.
She also has her adopted brother Spike.
Petrie: A "flyer," or a Pteranodon.
He gets scared very easily and is too trusting, but he is loyal and can be brave at important times.
He lives with his mother and brothers.
Spike: The youngest of the group.
He is a "Spiketail," which is a Stegosaurus.
Spike does not talk, though it was shown in the 4th movie that he can when he wants to.
He enjoys eating and lets Ducky sit on his back if she needs to.
Ducky is his older sister, since she adopted him during the first movie.
He lives with Ducky's family.
Also of note is a "Sharptooth" named Chomper, who was born in the 2nd movie and was so popular with fans that he returned in the 5th movie and the TV series.
He is friends with all the main characters, despite his natural instincts telling him to eat them.
