"Magic power of sound can cause people to despair, to make
laugh or, conversely, to reassure. But music is also a powerful therapeutic
tool, a way to deeply affect the physical and mental condition of the person..."
Any culture, and
our whole life is based on the sound. With a sharp sound, we wince at the quiet
- listen, if quiet - go to sleep. Complete silence frightens us, and it is
usually before the earthquake, or similar troubles. Sounds used for centuries
for healing...
Watching the changes
in the state of the brain and behavior caused by the sound, speech and music,
we can better understand the phenomena that occur to us. Without sound and
music can not imagine our life....
From the guttural
conspiracy antiquity to the shamans of the sublime Gregorian chanting in
cathedrals, sound and music played an important role in human culture. It is
comforting in sorrow, helps to focus, enhances memory, facilitates language
acquisition...
Religious and
ceremonial music, including drums of shamans, hymns, temple music can calm us
and result in a state of peace...
Religious Music
Religious music
(also sacred music) is music performed or composed for religious use or through
religious influence....
A lot of music
has been composed to complement religion, and many composers have derived
inspiration from their own religion. Many forms of traditional music have been
adapted to fit religions' purposes or have descended from religious music.
There is a long history of Christian Church music. Johann Sebastian Bach,
considered one of the most important and influential European classical music
composers, wrote most of his music for the Lutheran church. Religious music
often changes to fit the times; Contemporary Christian music, for example, uses
idioms from various secular popular music styles but with religious lyrics.
Gospel music has always done this, for example incorporating funk, and
continues to do so...
The book of Psalms, included in the Jewish and Christian
scriptures, and said to have been written largely by David, is one of the
earliest collections of sacred music, and still plays a role in the liturgies
of the two religions.
Secular music is
non-religious music. "Secular" means being separate from religion... In
the West, secular music developed in the Medieval period and was used in the
Renaissance. Swaying authority from the Church that focused more on Common Law
influenced all aspects of Medieval life, including music. Secular music in the
Middle Ages included love songs, political satire, dances, and dramatic works.
Drums, harps, recorders, and bagpipes were the instruments used in secular
music because they were easy for the traveling musicians to tote about.
Instruments were taught through oral tradition and provided great dancing music
and accompanied the stanzas well...
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. Navajo
music's cyclic song and song-group forms mirrors the cyclic nature of their
deities such as Changing Woman... Christian,
Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, Islamic, Rastafarian, African-Caribbean, Shintō, Buddhist, Zoroastrian music...
Christian music
Christian music is music that has been written
to express either personal or a communal belief regarding Christian life and
faith. Common themes of Christian music include praise, worship, penitence, and
lament, and its forms vary widely across the world... Like other forms of music
the creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of Christian
music varies according to culture and social context. Christian music is
composed and performed for many purposes, ranging from aesthetic pleasure,
religious or ceremonial purposes, or as an entertainment product for the
marketplace...,

Liturgical music originated as a part of religious ceremony, and includes
a number of traditions, both ancient and modern. Liturgical music is well known
as a part of Catholic Mass, the Anglican Holy Communion service (or Eucharist),
the Lutheran Divine Service, the Orthodox liturgy and other Christian services
including the Divine Office. Such ceremonial music in the Judeo-Christian
tradition can be traced back to both Temple and synagogue worship of the
Hebrews.
The qualities that create the distinctive character of
liturgical music are based on the notion that liturgical music is conceived and
composed according to the norms and needs of the various historic liturgies of
particular denominations.

to express either personal, spiritual or a communal belief regarding Christian
life, as well as (in terms of the varying music styles) to give a Christian
alternative to mainstream secular music... Like other forms of Christian music,
the creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel
music varies according to culture and social context. Gospel music is composed

everyday problems of life and how God answers those problems.... Gospel blues is a blues-based form of gospel music (a combination of
blues guitar and evangelistic lyrics).... Urban contemporary gospel (sometimes still marketed as
"Black gospel" to help distinguish it from other forms of Christian
music) is a subgenre of contemporary gospel music

Jewish music
The earliest synagogal music was based on the same system
as that in the Temple in Jerusalem. According to the Talmud, Joshua ben
Hananiah, who had served in the sanctuary Levitical choir, told how the
choristers went to the synagogue from the orchestra by the altar, and so
participated in both services....
Sephardic music, the music of Spanish Jews, was born in

played in public services or private devotions. The classic heartland of Islam
is the Middle East, North Africa, Iran, Central Asia, Horn of Africa and South
Asia. Due to Islam being a multi-ethnic religion, the musical expression of its
adherents is vastly diverse. The indigenous musical styles of these areas have
shaped the devotional music enjoyed by contemporary Muslims...

Zoroastrian music
Zoroastrian music is a genre of music that accompanies
Zoroastrian traditions and rites... Zoroastrian music is a genre of religious
music that accompanies religious and traditional rites among the Zoroastrian
people... Although, certain ancient Zoroastrian traditions show a negative
approach towards Zoroastrian melodies such as the pre-Islamic pastorals and
minstrels, Zoroastrian music has been in the religion since it was founded. .. Historical
texts prove that prior to the arrival of Islam in Persia, Zoroastrians knew
choral and solo performance songs. The majority of these songs are no longer
performed, although Zoroastrian religious songs still do remain. The wording of
these songs are attained from either from the Avesta, or from the Gathas
(sayings attributed to Zoroaster). Islamic influence can be seen in the
melodies of the Naderi method of prayer recitation and pilgrim's songs. The
ancient tambourine music of Kermanshah (in Iran) is similar to some kinds of
Zoroastrian music... Due to the death of mobeds, many Zoroastrian customs have
been forgotten and only a few remain...

African-Caribbean music
Rastafarian music is not the only kind of religious music
in the Caribbean. Religious sects have their own musical styles, though they
vary from island to island. Obeah and Myal as well as Christian sects
associated with revivalism are common in Jamaica. These styles have also
influenced Jamaican dances. Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Haiti in particular have
also developed African-influenced musical styles that are used in religious
rituals associated with Santería, Vodou, and Espiritismo....
Santería, also known as Regla de Ocha, La Regla Lucumi or Lukumi,
is a syncretic religion of West African and Caribbean origin influenced by
Roman Catholic Christianity. Its liturgical language, a dialect of Yoruba, is
also known as Lucumi....
Haitian Vodou is a syncretic religion that originates in the Caribbean
country of Haiti. It is based upon a merging of the beliefs and practices of
West African peoples (mainly the Fon and Ewe; see West African Vodun), with
Arawakian religious beliefs, and Roman Catholic Christianity. Voodoo was
created by African slaves who were brought to Haiti in the 16th century and
still followed their traditional African beliefs, but were forced to convert to
the religion of their slavers... Practitioners are commonly described as
Vodouisants ...
Espiritismo is the Latin American and Caribbean belief that good and
evil spirits can affect health, luck and other elements of human life... Its
shares many fundamental concepts with Spiritualism as popularized in 19th
century and early 20th century United States. During this period, several books
on mediumship and spiritual practices became available in the Caribbean and
Latin America. As many Native Americans and people of African descent had long
standing traditions of ancestor worship and trance possession, Spiritualism was
readily absorbed into and adapted to these pre-existing belief systems...

Rastafarian music
Nyabinghi music is the most integral form of Rastafarian music. It is played at worship
ceremonies called grounations, which including drumming, chanting and dancing
along with prayer and smoking of ritual ganja. Nyabinghi probably comes from an
East African movement from the 1850s to the 1950s that was led by women who
militarily opposed European imperialism. This form of nyabinghi was centered
around Muhumusa, a healing woman from Uganda who organized resistance against
German colonialists. The British later led efforts against nyabinghi, and
classified it as witchcraft through the Witchcraft Ordinance of 1912. In
Jamaica, nyabinghi was appropriated for similar anti-colonial efforts, and is
often danced to invoke the power of Jah against an oppressor. The connection
between the religion and various kinds of music has become well-known due to
the international fame of musicians like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh...
The Rastafari movement or Rasta is a new religious
movement. It arose in the 1930s in Jamaica, a country with a predominantly
Christian culture where 98% of the people were the black descendants of slaves.
Most of its adherents worship Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia (ruled
1930–1974), as God incarnate, the Second Advent, or the reincarnation of Jesus.
Members of the Rastafari movement are known as Rastas, or Rastafari. The
movement is sometimes referred to as "Rastafarianism", but this term
is considered derogatory and offensive by some Rastas, who, being highly
critical of "isms" (which they see as a typical part of Babylon
culture), dislike being labelled as an "ism" themselves...

Sikh music
Kirtan is one of the pillars of Sikhism and in that
context refers to the singing of the sacred hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib to
music. Sikhs place huge value on this type of singing and a Sikh is duty bound
to listen and/or sing Guru-kirtan as frequently as possible. Sikhs also have
'Dhadi Varaan' which use the Dhad sarangi to sing about Sikh history...
Sikh music (shabad kirtan) began in the 16th century as
the musical expression of mystical poetry conceived by the founder of Sikhism,
Guru Nanak. Following him, all the Sikh gurus sang in the then-prevalent
classical and folk music styles, accompanied by stringed and percussion
instruments. The style was where the text was of prime significance and the
music played a supporting, albeit important, role. The Gurus specified the raag
in which they sang each hymn in the Sikh sacred scripture, the Guru Granth
Sahib. Thirty-one raags were and thirty-one raag variants were named.[citation
needed] Several raag variants are unique to the Sikh music tradition...
While Hindustani music underwent significant changes in
the setting of Mughal courts, and a separate stream of Carnatic music developed
in southern India, Sikh music retained its original form and styles, a unique
musical tradition encompassing a variety of melodic forms and a well-developed
percussive system...
