With very few exceptions, music is essential in the worship of all major religions. Religious music enables the people to form a stronger connection with God and with each other.

Music in Judeo-Christian religions in particular sees an integration of cultural and historical context. For example, gospel music is heavily influenced by both church worship and work songs in the days of slavery.
