Although many of the biggest
fans of religious music are religious people,
devotion is by no means required.

great music!
People of all walks of life
enjoy hymn music. Many people think that the
appeal of musical hymns is not just the subject
matter, and they are right.

Hymn Music
Types
Unfortunately, many
people content themselves with one form of
hymn music when there are dozens. hymns
music comes from thousands of sources.
In fact, almost
every community of
|
believers has its own form of hymn music. Most
churches, however, like most people, have a set way
of doing things.
Black Protestant churches
sing black hymn music, white churches sing white
hymn music, and Catholic churches sing traditional
Catholic hymns.
In our church, however, we
have a diverse community of believers, and as a
result, we try to have a diverse sampling of holy
music. We used to have one musical director who
selected all of the hymn music, but he had his own
preferences that could not reflect everyone's
desires.
Nowadays, that musical
director works with the clergy in order to find
hymn music from all different communities that
reflects all different musical tastes.
Why Hymn Music Is Sung
All of it, after all, is sung
for the glory of God and the strength of the
community, so all of it is holy. And, by learning
to enjoy the music of different peoples, we
strengthen ourselves not only as Christians, but as
human beings.
You can see the differences
that a new attitude towards hynm music has made in
the church. Now, we do not only have the old staid
melodies, but also exciting gospel music tunes,
simple and haunting Gregorian chants, festive
renaissance music, and everything in between.
The Music Of The Gospels
Is Sung All Over The World
We sing our hymn music in a
dozen different languages, including Latin,
Spanish, French, Portuguese, and many others. When
we go to church on Sunday, we are not just learning
about religion anymore, but also learning about art
and about the cultures of the world.
Singing religious hymn music
from around the world helps us feel how profoundly
connected we all are as children of God.
Love In Christ
