Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands, sing forth the honor of his name, and make his praise glorious.
Music has been used as a form of prayer since time immemorial. People praying in a group have used music to pray together. Most hymns and songs have been set to tune so that it is easier for people to identify with them. In fact, hymns and songs set to tune have helped strengthen faith in the Lord and created a feeling of oneness with Him.
Christian Sheet music has been followed ever since the first music sheet was brought in existence around 500 AD. In those times, the Vatican had the famous Pope Gregory, who was an ardent music lover. Pope Gregory formalized and made music reading for the church, and around 600 AD, music was formed as sheet music and remains that way to this day. The first Christian sheet music was called 'Gregorian Chants,' or 'Gregorian Cantus,' which are sacred Christian Chants that are still practiced.
Christian sheet music is composed of two types -- Major music and Minor music. Major music is mostly for praise and worship and portrays happiness. Minor is stronger than Major, as it holds human emotions such as anger, excitement and sadness and is soothing.
Christian music is found in almost all languages, with majority of the music found in Europe. A basic form of Christian music is 'Hymn' and 'Praise and Worship.' Since evangelical churches are on the rise, Christian sheet music today focuses on 'Praise and Worship,' more than traditional 'Hymn' music. It is quite a delight and every ardent music lover aims to play music through reading rather than by ear. Today, Christian sheet music is found on many music sites on the Internet with some giving an option of free downloads.
