Piece Description In Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and every minor religion around the world, music has been used as a tool to elevate the spirit or unite the faithful. On Episode 4 of The Nerve, host Jowi Taylor looks at how music has come to be so closely associated with the sacred, and how chanting, singing and drumming in unison produce tangible physical effects, evoking altered states from trance to exaltation. Many cultures consider music to be a gift from the gods. But apart from the claim that it is a gift from God, what is it exactly about music that makes it have such power over our spirits? The Nerve 4 congregates a variety of opinions from multiple faiths to adress why music so enchants and entrances us. Broadcast History Episode Four of The Nerve first aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in September, 2008. https://prx.org/pieces/37246
