	Religious music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Religious music (also sacred music) is music performed or composed for religious use or through religious influence.
		Monotheism and tonality, all tones relating and resolving to a tonic, are often associated, and the textures of European homophony, equated with monotheism, may be contrasted with Asian heterophony, equated with poly or pantheism.
		Sephardic music, the music of Spanish Jews, was born in medieval Spain, with cancioneros being performed at the royal courts.

	Religious Music
		Religious music may be said to have begun in Canada with the arrival of the first settlers, though the indigenous peoples used music in a religious context prior to the 16th century.
		Jewish religious music in Canada is divided between traditional chants, some of great antiquity, sung by the cantor, and more modern music (often late 19th-century in style) sung by choir or congregation, or both.
		Music is seen as a vital part of synagogue worship, in both Orthodox and Reform traditions, though only Reform synagogues admit the use of the organ.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Church Music
		Whenever music, instead of assuming a character of independence and mere ornament, acts as an auxiliary to the other means of promoting the worship of God and as an incentive to good, it not only does not interfere with the religious ceremony, but, on the contrary, imparts to it the greatest splendour and effectiveness.
		The object of the society is to cultivate the chant, polyphony, hymns in the vernacular, organ-playing, and orchestral music in conformity with the regulations of the Church.
		The secular and semi-ecclesiastical or simply religious music of the Middle Ages had a decisive influence in the transformation of polyphonic music into the harmonic or homophonic, and a comparison between the various styles is a great aid in determining the character of genuine church music.

	Ritual and Religious Music in Iran
		In the Iranian ritual and religious music wind and drum instruments are continued to be used.
		Of course we possess considerable examples of Hebrew religious melodies which are performed in Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian synagogues, but whether such melodies are sung in Iranian synagogues is unknown at least to me. Part of Jewish religious music has been recorded but not in a broader scale that exists in Christian music.
		Also many yashts which were used in Zoroastrian religious rites have lost their subjectivity and are not being used including a considerable amount of Zoroastrian religious music and performance of the `Ferdog' musical songs in graveyards.

	Music With a Sacred Text. Discusses the question: "Does music with a sacred text have a place in the public schools?" ...
		It is the position of MENC: The National Association for Music Education that the study and performance of religious music within an educational context is a vital and appropriate part of a comprehensive music education.
		Since music with a sacred text or of a religious origin (particularly choral music) constitutes such a substantial portion of music literature and has such an important place in the history of music, it should and does have an important place in music education.
		Rejecting this argument, the court said that music has a purpose in education beyond the mere words or notes in conveying a mood, teaching cultures and history, and broadening understanding of arts and that the selection of the music had a primarily secular purpose of teaching music appreciation.

		Music has played a major part in world religion for centuries, from ancient Islamic songs to ninth-century Gregorian chants to the African-American spirituals and shape-note choirs prevalent in the U.S. during the 19th and 20th centuries.
		American gospel music derives mostly from blues, folk, and jazz traditions, and its influence had been wide and strong.
		Today's Christian music, however, has widened the stylistic boundaries even further, marrying sacred themes with contemporary sounds from acoustic folk to alternative rock, hip-hop to heavy metal.

		When I was Christian I used to listen to Christian music, but when I left, I no longer found meaning in those songs.
		There was a time at the last Christian church I attended that I realized in the service that it was the sound of the music that made me feel that spiritual feeling and not the lyrics.
		It feels different and I was trying to figure out why religious music feels different if the words are not what causes that feeling.

		To test the impact on an audience of extreme bass notes from an organ pipe, researchers constructed a seven-metre-long "infrasonic cannon" which they placed at the back of the Purcell Room, a concert hall in South London.
		They then invited 750 people to report their feelings after listening to pieces of contemporary music intermittently laced sound from the cannon, played a 17 Hz at levels of 6-8 decibels.
		The results showed that odd sensations in the audience increased by an average of 22% when the extreme bass was present.

	Religious Music
		The essays in this book (five of which originally appeared in Choir and Organ) form five groups, which together offer a survey of religious music from around the first millennium to the beginning of the second, in the context of the difficult issues of what religious music is, and, for good measure, what is religion?
		The parts are: The Ages of Christian Faith; The Re‑birth of a Rebirth: From Renaissance to High Baroque; From Enlightenment to Doubt; From `the Death of God' to `the Unanswered Question'; and The Ancient Law and the Modern Mind.
		Musical discussion, with copious examples, is conducted throughout the book in a context that is also religious‑ and indeed philosophical, social, and political, with the open‑endedness that such an approach demands in the presentation of ideas about music's most fundamental nature and purposes.

		It is delightful to follow Rosenzweig reacting to the great classics of (mostly German) music and to remember his courage in listening and describing them as he lay burdened by paralysis, hearing the music in his own sickroom concert hall.
		Not unexpectedly, the most interesting of Rosenzweig's commentary is about religious music.
		I am astounded by how much Rosenzweig knows of early church music, a field which I had thought only explored in the late twentieth century under the influence of later technology: the long playing record and the CD.
