Friday's Religious Songs

The lyrics of the first song definitely made it seem Christian to me. There was a lot of repetition, and I remember hearing "keep my commandments" at least once. I recognized a couple Latin words in the second song, which led me to think that it too was Christian music. I remember hearing drums in the third song, and the melody of the piece reminded me of something that was East Asian, or more specifically Chinese. It reminded me of the kind of music I hear in Chinese restaurants, with bold drum music. This made me think that the song was Buddhist. The final song, Raku, had a lot of different sounds in it. This was was definitely the hardest to identify, especially considering that I don't often listen to religious music of any kind, but maybe this song is associated with Hinduism. The third song seemed to be my favorite; it was more upbeat and fast-paced than the others.
