Gospel music is a music genre in Christian music.

The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel music varies according to culture and social context.

Gospel music is composed and performed for many purposes, including aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, and as an entertainment product for the marketplace.

Gospel music usually has dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony) with Christian lyrics.

Gospel music can be traced to the early 17th century, with roots in the black oral tradition.

Hymns and sacred songs were repeated in a call and response fashion.

Most of the churches relied on hand clapping and foot stomping as rhythmic accompaniment.

Most of the singing was done a cappella.

MPEG-1 and/or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3 (or mp3), is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression, which are data encoding methods that use inexact approximations and partial data discarding to reduce file sizes significantly, typically by a factor of 10, in comparison with a CD, yet still sound like the original uncompressed audio to most listeners.

Compared to CD quality digital audio, MP3 compression commonly achieves 75 to 95% reduction in size.

MP3 files are thus 1/4 to 1/20 the size of the original digital audio stream.

This is important for both transmission and storage concerns.

The basis for such comparison is the CD digital audio format which requires 1411200 bit/s.

A commonly used MP3 encoding setting is CBR 128 kbit/s resulting in file size 1/11 (=9% or 91% compression) of the original CD-quality file.
