Interesting introduction ok

Personally, I'd change the title to 'An introduction to Christian Music'

The problem I have with the title as it is is that I was expecting _a lot_ more...

- Specific time periods, major composers and description of the music
- Examples of various religious services and the types of music used
- How music use varies from country to country and church to church
- Specific types of music (thinking about the anglican church alone this could take in: masses, anthems, sung psalms, hymns, the Anglican evensong service (Magnificat and Nunc Dimitis) etc.).


You _could_ add the extra information, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't be better to create a series of separate entries to cover the various topics.

I'd also like to see mention of specific artists who deal in modern Christian music (rock, pop, that sort of thing). You note composers from the 17th and 18th centuries, but no artists after that.

Technically, 'mediums' in the first paragraph should be media. Someone has to nitpick winkeye .

Other than that, I'd say this is a good entry. Perhaps you should split it with a couple of headings or something to make it easier to read. And I agree with what has been said about a series of entries. This is quite a big topic smiley .

Yes, "Introduction" would be a better title. This one does still need work, thanks for the suggestions. I'll start working on those, probably around Sunday.

Hi,

This will be one of those Entries where you have to decide what to put in and what to leave out: as you say, it could be a huge topic!

You'll need to change all the 'honor's to 'honour' as the EG uses UK English.

Hi Still_WRD. This is a great entry. I think the only thing it is lacking now is a few headers to break it up a bit. These would make it slightly easier to read.

Ah, okay. Sorry, when I use my computer at home, I have to make a posting before I can see any new postings that have come up since the last time I was on. That's what the "HEY" was for.

Anyway, gerat Idea, but I'm not sure I would know what to title the headings.

How about:

"Music Through the Years" just before the second paragraph.

"Why Music?" before the paragraph which starts "The first and most obvious reason..."

"Summary" before the final paragraph.

Always open! Not sure I'll be doing much with it, though.

Do you have any plans to finish this yourself? If not, it would be an idea to remove it from the Edited Guide Writing Workshop and submit it to the Flea Market.
