It is generally held[citation needed] that the earliest music in the Christian Church came from Jewish worship music. It is believed that this music lay somewhere between singing and speaking, or speaking with an understood ritual cadence.[1] However, there is another opinion that the roots of early Christian music come from the early ascetic monastic orders.[2]
