Portal:Christian music/Intro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Christian music portal! Christian music is a broad classification of music that is written to express either personal or a communal belief regarding the Christian life, as well as to give a Christian alternative to main stream secular music. While the term "Christian Music" tends now to be appropriated by 20th and 21st century popular and rock musicians, Christian music can be broken into a number of categories: Liturgical Music, Masses, Anthems, Motets, sequences, psalmody, antiphons, Hymns, Contemporary Christian music, Gospel music, and Christian alternative rock. Additional popular categories are Gospel music, Christian rap and Southern Gospel music.
