Council in Trullo (692)
Ecumenical councils, NPNF II.14
75. Canon 75
We will that those whose office it is to sing in the churches do not use undisciplined vociferations, nor force nature to shouting, nor adopt any of those modes which are incongruous and unsuitable for the church: but that they offer the psalmody to God, who is the observer of secrets, with great attention and compunction. For the Sacred Oracle taught that the Sons of Israel were to be pious.1
Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon LXXV
Inordinate vociferation of the psalms is not allowed, nor he that adopts things unsuited to the churches.
