Was there music in the Calvinist Church?

Yes, there was music in the Calvinist Church, but it was typically more subdued and focused on congregational singing of psalms rather than elaborate musical compositions or instruments. Calvinists emphasized the importance of Scripture in worship, leading to the use of metrical psalms set to simple melodies. Instruments were generally discouraged, aligning with the belief that worship should be simple and centered on the Word of God. This tradition laid the groundwork for the development of hymnody in later Protestant practices.
