Church music may be defined as music written for performance in church, or any musical setting of ecclestiacal liturgy, or music set to words expressing propositions of a sacred nature, such as a hymn. This article covers music in the Judaeo-Christian tradition. For sacred music outside this tradition, see Sacred music. See also christian music. It has been claimed that there no precise distinction between music expressing feelings of a sacred or religious nature, and music expressing feelings that are not sacred or religious. Bach's sacred works are musically the same as his secular ones [1]. Mozart used parts of his religious compositions in secular cantatas and extracts from his operas for church purposes. A mass has also been compiled from some of Haydn's secular compositions[2]. On the other hand, St Augustine says that "To sing once is to pray twice" (Qui cantat, bis orat) literally "he who sings, prays twice"[3], suggesting there can be thoughts expressed by the music in which a prayer is offered, separate from those expressed by the words of the prayer itself. Music, unlike art or architecture, does not represent physical objects, and unlike poetry is independent of propositional thought. Hence it can take human emotions into areas that other artistic works cannot, and offer the prospect of an escape from worldly existence[4]. Music is also appropriate to the sacrificial character of worship, particularly in the Christian tradition, being an offering to God. Music is a way of allowing a large number of worshippers to form an effective communion, by expressing their faith and their offering in public, together. Finally, music has the evangelical purpose of attracting those whose enthusiasm for religious matters is not sufficient on its own[5].
