About Christian music
Christ music is a kind of music.whether it is awe and praise to God, in the final analysis, it is human emotion. Human emotions are secular emotions, and religious music itself has secularity. Religious songs are no longer a tool for spreading religious teachings. They not only infiltrate the composer's personal feelings but also the different emotions of the singer. Many composers are immersed in the creation of religious songs. Each composer has almost created religious songs. This type of work has a characteristic that the lyrics are simple and many of the same lyrics are repeated. "Emotion" is an eternal theme explored by religion, philosophy, literature and art. Religious music and literature and philosophy share the meaning of "sacredness". In the process of its development, humanities are everywhere. The "emotional" question about religious music highlights the depth and breadth of the meaning of life in different periods and common beliefs. The "belief" of "human" is an irrational phenomenon inherent in human beings, and also a universal phenomenon in human spiritual life. It stems from a transcendental consciousness of human beings, that is, transcendence of irrationality in the real world. In the world of life, there are always many ignorance about the universe, confusing things that cannot be grasped in real life, and things that cannot be grasped by human power. Thus, in the depths of the human heart, there is a longing for the other side. The world's omnipotent path, "God" is the idealized object of people, and religious songs become the needs of human beings. It provides a way of thinking about the relationship between man and the universe.

The origin of religious music
The development of culture is often caused by changes in society. It is now known that in the 16th century BC, the Mycenae civilization was formed in southern Greece. By the end of the 12th century BC, the world-famous Loy War had taken place. Soon, the Dorians of the North entered the South, destroying the Mycenaean civilization and gradually forming a Greek civilization.

In the 8th century BC, major changes took place in Greek society. The primitive clan tribes evolved into city-state systems, and cities such as Athens and Spartak rose, and Greek culture entered a stage of development. In the 6th to 4th centuries BC, Greek culture flourished, instrumental music, musical dramas, songs, lyrics developed to a high standard, and exhibited in some competitive games. Theories related to music, such as philosophy, temperament, scale, tone, and notation, are also mainly produced during this period.

In ancient Greece, music was often associated with the gods worshipped by people, and Music itself originated from Muse in Greek mythology. Because music is related to God, music itself is considered to be full of divinity. Ancient Greeks believed that music can exorcise and cure people and purify human souls. Therefore, music plays a very important role in social activities. In 146 BC, the Romans who advocated the use of force conquered ancient Greece. In 313 ADS, the Roman emperor promulgated the "Milan decree" and declared Christianity a legal religion. Since then, Christianity has become an important part of the development of Western culture. The rise of Christianity has led to the exclusion of ancient Roman secular music, and the euphoric entertainment music has been replaced by Christian solemn and solemn music. The Middle Ages refer to European feudal society, from the 5th to the 14th century. Various music institutions in medieval Europe, such as writing and research institutions, as well as choirs and schools, are all part of the church and are managed by clergy. In the early period of the Middle Ages, Western music presented a situation in which Christian music was left alone. During this period, Western music was dominated by church music.
