La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Aten requested me to build Akhet-Aten
As a memorial for his name to all eternity
Akhet-Aten, town of the sun and of love
Akhet-Aten, town of the art and of joy
Welcome to Akhet-Aten
Welcome to the home where Aten lives
Welcome to Akhet-Aten
Welcome to the most beautiful town on the earth
See all the temples I have built
For my father, Hor-Aten, he lives
Look to all that palaces and buildings
You have never seen such beauty
At this place I will stay
Till the hills stand up and leave
At this place I will stay
Till the Nile flows upstream
