The Baroque Style within Gospel Music Growing up in a Christian family, a minister as a father, a musician as a mother, Gospel music was the prominent source of musical entertainment in my childhood.

“Caedmon’s Hymn” (c. 657-680), written by Bede (c. 673-735), shows a complicated relationship with earthly and heavenly matters.

My mother has always been my main role model, caregiver, friend, and always treated me with the upmost respect and patience, and together we built a relationship based on trust and mutual appreciation.
