Elvin (bishop Of Várad)
Elvin (also ''Elvinus''; died after 1200) was a Hungarian prelate in the late 12th century, who served as Bishop of Várad (present-day Oradea, Romania) from 1189 to 1200. Background Elvin was born into a wealthy and prominent family, but his parentage and origin is unknown. He had a brother (or at least, relative; ''frater'') Boleslaus, also a prelate, who served as Bishop of Vác from 1193 to 1212. They also had another unidentified brother, the father of certain Othmar and Marhard. Based on the geographical location of their landholdings, historian Vince Bunyitay considered that both of them belonged to the ''gens'' (clan) Becsegergely. Early 19th-century historian János Bárdosy claimed both Boleslaus and Elvin were the sons of Both (also Bot or Bat), the ''ispán'' of Bihar County. Elvin possessed estates around the episcopal see Várad. He had a palace in Micske in Bihar County (today part of Chișlaz, Romania). He also possessed five vineyards in Bihar (present-day ...

Church Music
Church music is a genre of Christian music written for performance in church, or any musical setting of ecclesiastical liturgy, or music set to words expressing propositions of a sacred nature, such as a hymn. History Early Christian music The only record of communal song in the Gospels is the last meeting of the disciples before the Crucifixion. Outside the Gospels, there is a reference to St. Paul encouraging the Ephesians and Colossians to use psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Later, there is a reference in Pliny the Younger who writes to the emperor Trajan (53–117) asking for advice about how to persecute the Christians in Bithynia, and describing their practice of gathering before sunrise and repeating antiphonally "a hymn to Christ, as to God". Antiphonal psalmody is the singing or musical playing of psalms by alternating groups of performers. The peculiar mirror structure of the Hebrew psalms makes it likely that the antiphonal method originated in the servic ...
