AB Already in medieval times lay people were permitted to participate in the singing of psalms during liturgical services. By the 13th century, folk melodies in the vernacular were also being sung. Complete psalters translated into Hungarian around the beginning of the 16th century have been preserved to the present day. After the Reformation, psalm hymns in poem form spread rapidly and without regard to religious denomination. They apparently replaced in part the traditional psalmody of the Roman liturgy. Psalm hymns are to be found in 17th century Catholic hymnals and in the collections of András Petri, János Kájoni and István Illyés. The use of psalm hymns in the Hungarian Catholic Church declined sharply in the 18th century, but their influence on other forms of vocal music has been considerable.
