Music and spirituality
| Title | Music and spirituality |
|---|---|
| Description | Scottish cultures are saturated with music of many kinds. For many young people music is a shared common ground which makes a statement about them, either as individuals or group members, and expresses and interprets a developing experience of the world. Music can express and connect with the deepest parts of us. Traditionally music has been part of spiritual life for these very reasons. We have four contributions on music and religious observance. Steven Fischbacher of Fischy Music, whose songs are used in many schools, states his belief in the transforming power of singing. Aman de Sondy explores the variety of Islamic views on music and gives an understanding of the challenges that Muslim pupils and staff might face. For members of the Sikh faith music plays a central and important role and this is examined by Ravinder Kaur Nijjar. June Maxwell writes from a humanist perspective and gives insight into the physiological processes at work. These four contributions enable a broader understanding of the place music and singing might have as RO events are created and developed. |
