note by HPJ
46 Choirmaster, there was no choir in Danish churches at that time, only
the hymn singer,
and you had to use the school master, because he was able to read the
hymns. He simply led the
singing by singing louder than the congregation.

to be thorough I ought to find out what musical instruments were in the
church at this time. Hugh W

<< when was an organ installed in that Bedsted church ?
Poor districts in Denmark could not afford an organ
for example the faeroese sang the Kingo hymns unaccompanied and evolved a
unique way of singing in quarter tones "out of tune" to unknowledgable ears
In England organs were forbidden and destroyed in churchs in our republican
days (Oliver Cromwell forbud dancing and theatre too)
As a substitute church bands thrived typically a flute and oboe or a
clarinet, a horn a serpent and a bassoon (fagot)
So the way to do that research is to look for account books and inventaries
In England King Henry VIII owned a lot of musical instrumetns according to
his inventories
