The potential of music in personality development

Abstract

From the most ancient times to the present day, we find singing and music among all human nations, for each people has sung as their mind, science, and circumstances have guided them. Singing was born with man, and there was no nation, just as there was no human being with the language of speech, who did not sing of his pain or joy. Now, taking a look at the singing and music of the various ancient peoples, we will see that there were skilled musicians in all times and everywhere, who with their art delighted and beautified the ancient temples and palaces and comforted those struck by misfortunes. Man sought to forget for a moment the bitterness of life through the charm of music, to ascend to an ideal world, better than the one on earth. In this article, we will try to present the long and difficult path traveled by sacred or religious music from ancient times to the present day, as well as its contribution to the spiritual evolution of humanity.
