Most events in our lives are accompanied by music, one way or another. The religious sphere is no exception – it is hard to find a religion without a unique music culture of its own today. These two have been closely linked since the dawn of time and it is still not clear what appeared first, or whether both existed all along together. In religion, music is a special medium of communication with the human’s deity (-ies), it’s a way to access the untouchable, to reach for something that is far beyond our comprehension. In most religious traditions, ‘texts’ used to be sung rather than said/written: priests, shamans, monks and carriers of other religions often combined their teaching with singing, playing musical instruments and dancing. In some cases, music could bear an intercultural character and step out of the sacred limits. Thus, Christian music is not confined to traditional hymns, masses and Bach’s oratorios but may include Russian choral music and Greek chants. Gospel music, vice versa, left the church boundaries and can exist as a separate type of secular music performed for aesthetical pleasure and entertainment purposes. Our sheet music catalogue covers the genre of Religious music in the broadest sense – all music that was created with the purpose of religious use, e.g. in services, sacred rituals and ceremonies, in praising, as well as the cross-cultural compositions on the border of the sacred and the secular music. One can narrow the search by the specific categories like Gospel, Worship, Christian, Jewish and so on, in order to find the necessary music scores.
