It is believed that this music lay somewhere between singing and speaking, or speaking with an understood ritual cadence.[1] However, there is another opinion that the roots of early Christian music come from the early ascetic monastic orders.[2]

The earliest synagogal music was based on the same system as that in the Temple in Jerusalem. According to the Talmud, Joshua ben Hananiah, who had served in the sanctuary Levitical choir, told how the choristers went to the synagogue from the orchestra by the altar (Talmud, Suk. 53a), and so participated in both services.
