Religious Music

In my opinion, i think that If Ye Love Me and Sancte Deus are both Christian melodies.  There are various people singing, forming a choir. A harmony is formed with sopranos and altos. A sense of unity and community is produced within these two songs because the singers are working together, with no instruments, to create a piece of music. For the third song, Ang Klu, i thought it was some type of Islamic song because of the title and all the various instruments played. It is an upbeat song, with no singing, solely instruments. I agree with Jen with the piece of Raku. I think that it sounds African with a heavy drummer and high pitched instruments (sounded like a harmonica?). To me, i can see this song being played by a tribe. I think that all these songs are similar because they all have a sense of community in them, whether its for a celebration or for education purposes.
