Music: Global Doorway to the Sacred - A History of Music

In this series, Seton Hall University's Dr. Gloria Thurmond explores the connection between music and the experience of the Sacred within the context of diverse global religious traditions.

This episode features a discussion of the parallel histories of secular and religious music, and how each inspires experiences of the holy. Thurmond explores how secular music and religious music influenced each other, and how both are used to communicate ideas and initiate encounters with the sacred.

"Whether religious or secular, music is a universal language of transformation and transcendence." - Dr. Thurmond
