How did the evolution of Colonial Period religious music reflect European-Protestant musical traditions?
What will be an ideal response?
Because many of the Pilgrims and Puritans who arrived in New England were Protestants, it made sense that the music they created would reflect the musical traditions they had experienced in Europe. The texts of their songs were frequently based on Biblical texts, modeling after Swiss reformer John Calvin, for example. Martin Luther's use of the vernacular inspired Protestants around the world to use their common language, so the Pilgrims and Puritans favored English in their worship music. The religious music of Europe was largely vocally-based, and this was also true in the New World.
