The Bible and Music

When I listened to both of these types of music, I realized that both of them sound somewhat similar in style. The tone and general feel of the composing felt very slow and gentle. It seemed like they were created to relax and calm people who listened to it, maybe even as far as allowing them to meditate while listening. I feel like listening to these songs would help people going through a tough time in their lives to become closer to their faith/God. Although I have never encountered music like this before, I really grew an appreciation for the way it seemed to automatically relax me, with a slow melody and beat, it made the songs worth listening to.
