religion in music

Religion in music refers to the ways spiritual beliefs and practices influence musical creation, performance, and themes. It includes hymns, chants, and sacred songs that express devotion, reverence, or spiritual stories. Composers often draw on religious texts, symbols, and rituals to inspire their work, creating music that fosters community, reflection, and worship. Throughout history, religion has shaped diverse musical traditions across cultures, serving as a bridge between mortal and divine, and providing a powerful, expressive means to explore faith and spirituality.
