Abstract

The quality of listening to a piece of sacred music in person is compared to a recording through the concept of "aura" according to the German philosopher Walter Benjamin, and its implications for the motivation of the faithful's faith. In order for sacred music to fulfill its function, it is necessary to recover the appropriate times and spaces for its true listening.
