Sacred vs. secular music

Sacred music is composed for spiritual purposes, often associated with religious rituals, worship, or the expression of faith. It typically features texts and themes that reflect divine principles, moral teachings, or religious narratives. Examples include hymns, chants, and liturgical compositions. In contrast, secular music encompasses all non-religious music, addressing themes of love, life, society, and personal experiences. It spans various styles, from pop and rock to classical and folk. While sacred music aims to inspire spirituality, secular music focuses on human experiences and emotions, appealing to broader audiences without religious context.
