Strictly speaking, the composer is a gift maker. He regards music as a gift, and then presents it to God on behalf of everyone in the temple.

Therefore, the people sitting in the audience are just foils in the dedication ceremony, not listeners; they are foils of the gifts and humbly dedicate the music to God in unison with the performers.

Of course, the people in the audience are not the recipients of the gifts, nor the judges who judge the quality of the gifts. So the listener and judge of Christian music is God, and it should have divine qualities!

Christian music follows a rigorous system.

The musical elements in this system are only used in religious ceremonies and will not be used elsewhere; and external music models will not enter the church.

For example: For more than a thousand years, Christian music has only used four basic modes to create music. These four modes were mainly introduced by the 4th-century Bishop of Milan, Ambesios ( Ambrosius).

Pope Gregorio I in the 6th century used these four tones and extended the sub-tones to become eight modes, but he still only composed the works based on the original four tones. change. The hymn compiled by Gregory I is the famous "Gregorian Chant".
