There were hymns that were classical praise and devotional hymns. East Africa was introduced to two types of hymns by missionaries. Creeds, hymns, and worship styles were simply literal translations even in Nigeria and other African Countries.Ĭatholic Hymns are an excellent example of the integration of Catholic and vernacular principles. Missionaries emphasized the universality of Christianity and, as a result, the need for the East African church to be a part of "catholic" Christianity, which in practice meant Western Christianity. Catholic music, also known as liturgical music, is music composed for use in religious rites of worship in the Church.Įarly Christian Catholic services included a simple refrain, or responsorial, sung by the congregation, which evolved from the musical practices of Jewish synagogues, which allowed the cantor to perform an improvised charismatic song.
