What reading level is The Evolution of Church Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How beautifully the poet speaks of it !
" A pleasant music floats along the mere From monks in Ely chanting service high, Whileas Canute the king is rowing by.
' My oarsmen,' quoth the mighty king, ' draw near, That we the sweet songs of the monks may hear.' He listens (all past conquests, and all schemes Of future glory, vanishing like empty dreams), Heart-touched, and haply not without a tear.
The royal minstrel, ere the choir is still.
While his free barque skims the smooth flood along Gives... to that rapture an accordant rhyme.
Oh, suffering earth ! be thankful ; sternest clime And rudest age are subject to the thrill Of Heaven-descending piety and song." No musician like Ambrose, and Greg- ory, who was at once poet and composer, belonged to England, nor was there one like Luther, who became a household word in his country. The hymns of England never became the folk-songs in the sense that Luther's did in his fatherland. Such 90 Qi\)e (f tjoliition of (Eliurtl) iMttsic work as Clement Marot did for the Gene- vans was imitated in England by Stern- hold and Hopkins, whose version of the psalms in English appeared only a little later than Luther's collection of chorals.
