Almost all major and current popular religions originated in Asia which include Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism.  They all include some type of music.  Sometimes music is a major part of the religion, like in Christianity and Catholicism.  Sometimes music is part of the chanting, like in Buddhism.  Music in different religions serves different purposes and offer different functions.

 

There will be comparisons in styles, rhythm, sound and instrumentations between traditional religious/sacred sound and the modern secular ones.  We also here to discover roles of music in different Asian religions and how it offers meditative relaxation for its faithful followers.
