Musical instruments in church services

The use of musical instruments in church services has often been seen as an innovation in church worship. This was the case in both Catholic liturgy and in the Puritan tradition. In the Catholic liturgy the Gregorian chant was for a thousand years the predominant musical form.[1] In the Puritan tradition there was traditionally a use of unaccompanied Psalms.
