Faith and Music Tours

Combining Faith and Music

Some of our most memorable tours have seen the merging of Faith tours with a music or choral tour. Music creates a connection with faith that goes so much deeper than just musical notes on a page; it creates a deeply spiritual moment in time when you are singing the praises of the Lord in his house, singing directly to him in a shared moment of glory with your choir or group.

And St. Paul, writing to the “faithful saints” in Ephesus, advised: “Be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart.” (Ephesians 5:18-19).

The word sacred means “something that is set apart, dedicated to, consecrated to the worship of God. What is sacred is not ‘secular,’ not ‘of the world’, not in a secular style and has no secular associations. Sacred music is music for use in a religious context or music that has a religious influence. However, many composers write both secular and sacred music.

What is the Purpose of Sacred Music?

One of the purposes of sacred music is to function as part of the mass or religious service, most often as part of worship. The word Sacred by definition must have to do with God and most of the music of the contemporary worship movement fits these criteria.

Sacred music is the Church’s own expression of faith throughout the centuries, melded with beauty of form. The sacred music of the Church is that which has been produced through prayer and through the tradition of the Church worshiping God. It has honed itself. And sacred music is beautiful, it’s universal, and it has a sense of holiness that is unmistakable.
