Join Date: Oct 2008 Rep:  | Church Music The major influence on church music is opera music with nearly all composers of classical church composers being opera composers. As in opera, arias and duets are no different from opera, except for the texts. |

Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: The Netherlands Rep:  | not completly true :-) church music is just as old as the church itself. first big improvement where the gregorian chants, they developed a way of notating music ( 9th century ) in the nect 8-9 centuries the western european music was developed by this church music. Logical offcourse, the church controlled every aspect of life. and they wanted to make sure they kept their position. Lot of composers where priests so the church was a big part of their lives as well. it was the only way for them to earn some money. Opera's where devolped mutch later it started in the 16th century, Peri's opera Dafne is considered to be the first ( written around 1600 )
