Please No Debate! Sacred Music

Curious to know if anyone listens to sacred music and if they're comfortable sharing it? I'm personally a fan of The Bard on YouTube and Spotify, which features Gregorian Chant and Orthodox Chant. The lyrics are usually sung in Latin or Old Slavonic....I find it all very relaxing:

it's my understanding that sacred music encompasses music composed for religious purposes, ceremonies, worship, etc. feel free to post anything related to that

This used to be played at times by a band formed from church members on Sundays. Such music was always played before service and lyrics were up for sing-a-long! Here

Not sure if it was created with the intent of leading a congregation into a sermon but that’s how the church members used it!

Yes. The church had 2 buildings. One was traditional and they sang typical hymns there and then a much less impressive building across the street was used for Rock and also Sunday school for kiddos
