The music culture that I will be introducing is gospel/ church music. I choose this music culture because I enjoy music that involves emotions and praise. When you are in church it’s the one place you can be yourself and express devotion. This music culture is special in my opinion because it teaches, blesses, and gives hope while enjoying the music of the culture. For my viewers who may not know what church is here is my definition. Church is a public place of worship to God in such is held in a building. I first thought of this music culture when driving by a church Sunday morning headed to the store. I recalled all the wonderful times I had as a child in church and decide its time to get back involved with this music culture so this would be a bonus to me doing this assignment. I will now be going back to church so that I can give my viewers more information on my music culture.
Some ideas about my music culture are that it’s a form of praise to God through music which is also song. Most of the people in this music culture are consider christens but anyone who believes can be apart of this music culture. The gospel/ church music culture is based on religion. My short implication of religion is your belief in a higher God. When researched it states that religion is, “a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.” The type of music played in this music culture is gospel. There are also musical instruments in this culture like the, tambourine, piano, drums, and sometimes the guitar. All of these instruments are played to give praise.
Now that you know something about my music culture I will end this blog by saying, thanks for viewing and have a great day.
