Evolution of Evangelical Music Most Evangelicals would agree that the single biggest change in the life of the average evangelical church congregation in the past 30 years have been the change in music that is played on Sunday mornings. Music in the early church days included organs and pianos, formal choirs, vocal groups, and soloists. This slowly changed to hymns, peppy gospel songs, guitars, and praise choruses in the early 1970s. “An irresistible, grassroots, pop-culture-driven force met the immovable object of tradition and sentiment, and the ensuing years saw no shortage of conflict and controversy as a result.” When looking at the history of evangelical music, people often confuse the rise of praise music, with the rise of contemporary Christian music. This can be somewhat misleading.

Spurgeon Born in Kelvedon, Essex on June 19, 1834 Charles Haddon Spurgeon was the first of seventeen children.

This new language seems to show the sincerity of the king and his part of humanity he didn't show before. At the beginning, Richard believes that his speech is power, and language is powerful in the political sense. Later, once Richard is no longer king and his words don't have any political power, he manages to make language powerful in a different sense: his words are more moving and poetic. But does the audience feel sympathy for Richard as he changes? Act I is very important to set the play and the situation.
