Religious

Religious music, which can be traced back to ancient rituals and the early Christian church, serves as a rather uplifting backdrop to all manner of divine happenings, often with less focus on catchy choruses and more on saving souls. It's characterised by soaring harmonies and lyrics that are more than a bit fond of the Almighty, aimed at inspiring both spiritual awakening and, admittedly, the odd bout of toe-tapping. While some claim it has the power to convert, many just enjoy it as a lovely noise for special occasions—because who doesn’t enjoy a good hymn at a wedding or a funeral, eh?
