Re: What happened to Christian music at church?

To be blunt, recorded music. That's what happened. Before the advent of recorded music, if you wanted music, well, for the most part you had to make it yourself. In older times, practically every home would have a piano or other musical instruments, and people would learn to play them. For decades, all people have to do for music is turn on the radio or play a record, tape or CD.

Nowadays, many people can hardly sing at all, and don't play an instrument. This latter applies to me, too, so I know whereof I speak. So, it is hard to find a pool of people from which to draw enough with musical inclinations to have a good church choir, and the congregation often can't sing along with them, anyway.

I could also mention Vatican II, though many good things were done there in other areas.
