Puritan Board Senior
Hello PB,
I, Brendan Chatterton, am a senior undergraduate student of music at Covenant College who has been studying the musical inclinations of John Calvin and 16th century Geneva for the past year. The topic of my senior integration paper, which is written to fulfill the degree requirements, was inspired by a PB thread entitled "Was Calvin Psalms Only?" because there seemed to be a lot of uncertainty on the floor. The first draft under way, I come to you looking for help and to be helpful.
Firstly, you're welcome to send related questions my way on this thread or you can PM Jake, the author of this post, if you would like my e-mail address.
Next, I ask if you would direct me toward resources that exemplify my research problem, which is confusion on the point of what was sung in the Geneva church. From the aforementioned thread I picked up on Iain Murray and subsequently Louis Benson by following the footnote trail. Now, are there any works you've read which appear conjectural or ambiguous as to what was sung in the Geneva church under Calvin's oversight? any leads? These types of statements might include suggestions that the Apostle's Creed was sung in worship or other text settings of merely human composition.
Lastly, I invite you to check out the beginnings of the rough draft and inquire of me concerning it (NB: some of the footnotes are for personal reference). Contact Jake via PM and he can give you a PDF and my e-mail address.
Thanks to my roommate Jake for posting this and hi Raymond if pick up on this.
