Religious Music

The first two songs we listened to, "If Ye Love Me" and "Sancte Day", seemed to be Christian songs to me.  They both were constructed of harmonies that seemed to have four parts.  The first song, "If Ye Love Me", sounded as if it was in a round.  The songs had a powerful presence and they like they could have been heard in a church.  The third song, "Angklung" sounded to me like it was from Asia, especially because of the numerous bells and drums which dominated the song.  However, I could not make a connection between the song to a specific religion.  This was the same case for the song "Raku".  The music composed of squeaking noises sounded as if it was from the East, but I was unable to identify a religion that it would belong to.
