A beautiful hymn for those that believe in God

One of the things I really like about what I read here is the way some things send me off on research tangents. I find it fascinating to pick up on one piece of information and have it lead me into all sorts of places.
As stated I'm not religious, but I so enjoy the architecture and the depth of history associated with sacred sites. That the locations themselves survive multiple occupations and changes in the denominations practiced as civilization moves forward fascinates me. I wonder, when I look at the work done by long dead labourers and scholars , what must have been going through their heads and what their lives were like the time of construction. Each of those hammer blows, every stone quarried, carried and placed, every manuscript illuminated or hymn written...someone as real and sentient as you and I did that
I don't have music in my house though I do use a MP3 player to help keep time as I exercise. I might as well strap a metronome to my head. What I do find fascinating, from an almost voyeuristic perspective, is the different musical structures used by different religions.
I think any contributions that pique people's interest are immensely valuable. You make me think about issues not connected to my everyday life. Thank you. Marg xx
