As apart of a religious assignment that i need to do, I need to research and write an essay on different types of religious music for Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

I thought I would come and ask here for some advice on what would the be better type of music to look into for each religion, as i know the people from this forum come from many places in the world and have different beliefs.

Im probably looking for about 3 songs for each religion that vary in tune and meaning so it would be easier to explain the differences between them.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Are we talking like Gregorian chant type music or recent stuff?

Probably the more traditional music. That would be good

Nearer my God to Thee would be one form Christianity

Amazing Grace would be another good one.

Thankyou very much

I was going to post some Christian techno/dance music lol but you want traditional.

post christian techno dance music anyway

OUR GOD *uhn tiss* IS AN AWESOME GOD *uhn Tiss* HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE *tis tis tiss uhn*

Hymns... Well, that's all I can think of for Christian Music. This page may be useful to you.

Do they want music with a religious theme, or music that is part of that religion? And where do you draw the line?
That would make a good argueing point for your next lesson (because everyone enjoys argueing with their R.E teacher )

Well, im looking to find 3 different varieties...im looking for traditional religious music...so God songs for instance that people sing in church...or classic songs like mentioned earlier by Saint, Amazing Grace is a good example
