The A to Z of Spiritual music: a user's guide is a collection of sounds, images, memories, definitions and anecdotes. While not exhaustive, its encyclopedic approach lists various phenomena, metaphors, concepts underpinning the western spiritual ethos and techniques used by composers and musicians to evoke this ethos. Take for example the letter R. One of the words under R is Resonance. Click on the word 'Resonance', or go to other letters at the top of the page.
