B, C
Both Martin Luther and John Calvin shared the belief that it was important for their churches to have music that the congregations could sing together. They wanted the music sung in church to be simple and vernacular so that everyone in the congregation could be part of the musical performance and understand what they were singing. Chorales or hymns were single melodies sung in monophonic texture at first and later in homophonic texture.
