The study of music in different cultures is called ethnomusicology. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6278 2011-11-21T04:52:34-05:00 When the Bible speaks of King David singing with his harp, or of Temple worship, what did it sound like.

We have a range of links to completely free MP3 downloads and sheet music, for mission challenge to Jesus followers. http://truewoman.com/?id=1600 2011-03-03T13:41:28-05:00 Every time I hear these rich, peaceful arrangements with all Scripture lyrics (can’t beat that!), my heart is calmed, encouraged, and strengthened.
