Early Jewish Christians probably sung [[psalms]]. In later centuries, monophonic [[Gregorian chants]] were widely sung. During and following the Protestant [[Reformation]], hundreds of hymns were written by men like [[Martin Luther]] and [[Charles Wesley]]. In recent decades, [[Contemporary Christian Music]], Christian music in rock style, has become increasing popular.

[[Martin Luther]] was a prolific hymn writer, with hymns such as [[A Mighty Fortress Is Our God]]. Hymns continued to be popular throughout the following centuries, although in recent decades their popularity has been falling in the west, with more modern songs becoming more commonly sung.<br /> <br /> ===[[Gospel music]]===<br /> <br /> ===[[Contemporary Christian Music]]===<br /> <br /> Contemporary Christian Music (or CCM) is a term originally used in the 1970s to describe a new form of pop and rock music that was lyrically based in the Christianity. The music had its roots in [[Jesus Music]] which sprung from the hippie [[Jesus Movement]] of the early 70s. An entire Christian music industry soon sprang up, with Christian-only artists, record labels, [[Christian radio|radio stations]], and record stores. By the 1980s, CCM was a large music industry with artists such as [[Amy Grant]] and [[Michael W. Smith]] selling millions of records.<br /> <br /> ===[[Christian Hard Rock/Metal Music]]===<br /> <br /> ===[[Christian Alternative Rock]]===<br /> <br /> ===[[Christian Hip Hop/Rap Music]]===<br /> <br /> ===[[Christian Country Music]]===<br /> <br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> * [http://www.topchristianlyrics.com/ Christian Song Lyrics]<br /> * [http://www.virtualchurch.org/choir.htm Classic Christian Hymns]<br /> * [http://patriot.net/~bmcgin/christmusic.html MIDI hymns and worship songs on the Internet]<br /> * [http://www.freesheetmusicguide.com/christian.htm Free Sheet Music Guide: Christian]<br /> * [http://www.abidingradio.com/ Conservative, Sacred, and Traditional Christian Music]<br /> * [http://www.christian-gospelmusiclyrics.com/ Gospel Song Lyrics]<br /> * [http://www.christianlyricsonline.com/ Christian Lyrics Online]<br /> * [http://www.sharesong.org/ Sharesong.org]<br /> * [http://www.seriousd.com/music.htm Free Christian Music Software Directory]<br /> * [http://www.ccmplanet.com/?section=downloads Christian MP3 Downloads]<br /> * [http://www.christianityfreebies.com/freebies1/Christian_Music/Music_Ministry_Resources.cfm Free Offers in Christian Music - Music Ministry Resources]<br /> * [http://www.prays.com Prays.com] - Free Christian Worship Music and Hymns MP3 downloads<br /> * [http://pop-popspoems.com/ Pop-Pop's Poems and Christian Music]<br /> * [http://www.christsites.com/goto.cfm?categoryid=1178 Christsites.com Christian concerts]<br /> * [http://www.christianconcerts.com/ Christianconcerts.com]<br /> * [http://www.ccauthority.com/ Christian Concert Authority]<br /> * [http://www.itickets.com/ Itickets.com - Christian concerts, events &amp; music festival tickets]<br /> <br /> {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -&gt; [[Christian literature, art, music and media]]<br /> [[Category:Christian music]]<br /> [[Category:Media]]</div>
