SACRED MUSIC in 2010
All events
listed in this section take place in the places of worship i.e., synagogues,
churches, congregations.
By the nature of the location, these events are classified as "Sacred
Music" even though some of the repertory might be secular.
Obversely, if a work of religious nature is sung in a concert hall, it is not
classified as "Sacred Music" but instead considered a secular event.
Therefore it can be found in categories such as "Choral Music" or "Vocal Music."
