In class today, we talked about the Exodus story and how it has influenced music, and how it has been influenced by music. The story has been able to be popularized because music often accompanies the telling of the story. Because there is often music with it, the Exodus story is very common and well known, even outside those who practice Christianity. The textbook also mentions the story of Joshua leading people across the Jordan River, and how this story is not as well known because of its lack of accompanied music.
