Summary/Abstract: Ethics is the science that comprises the complete rules of moral conduct. Ethics is the science, while moral is the instrument. Moral, whose etymology comes from the Latin word mores-moralis, meaning “custom,” represents a number of beliefs and attitudes reflected in principles and laws, historically and socially determined, that establishes human relationships and their social inclusion, being based on conscience. It is not law,but mass conscience what prevails in approaching the conflict between good and bad. The present study begins by presenting the psalmodic genre that belongs to the religious music and which is an initium of forms and genres, as its component, the Christian worship chant, did not receive social censure. It is a model of musical perfection through its peacefulness brought by the sacred verses.
