Final answer:
The Council of Trent did not ban instrumental music; it focused on ensuring that religious music was devout and understandable. The claim is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the Council of Trent decided to prevent music made from instruments is false. The Council, which met intermittently between 1545 and 1563 to address issues raised by the Protestant Reformation, reaffirmed the importance of religious art and music in the church. Although the Council took a conservative stance on the role of sacred music, introducing some reforms to prevent secular influences from entering church music, it did not ban the use of instruments altogether. The Council's decrees focused on ensuring that religious music remained devout and understandable to foster worship, not to eliminate instrumental music. The outcomes of the Council included affirmations of Church doctrine, the importance of sacraments, religious instruction through art, and the correct use of religious images to prevent idolatry.
