 Posted May 18, 2006 by Whisky Interesting introduction
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.

 Posted May 18, 2006 by echomikeromeo 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.

 Posted May 21, 2006 by laconian Technically, 'mediums' in the first paragraph should be media. Someone has to nitpick .
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 .

 Posted May 24, 2006 by Still_WRD 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.

 Posted May 27, 2006 by JulesK 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.

 Posted Jun 19, 2006 by Still_WRD Stupid UK English. Why do they think their English is so special? Just because they started it? Will do. Let me know if I make any other silly American mistakes.

 Posted Jun 30, 2006 by Gnomon 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.

 Posted Jul 14, 2006 by Still_WRD Hey
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Jul 14, 2006 by Still_WRD 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.

 Posted Jul 17, 2006 by Gnomon 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.

 Posted Jul 20, 2006 by Still_WRD Ha! You make it sound so simple...

 Posted Aug 10, 2007 by Matt Do you need some help with this one SW?
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 26, 2007 by Still_WRD 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.
