One can envision Jesus and His disciples as they journey from village to village in Judah. They travel together or possibly in small groups, but always in tune with the Master. Their travels are certainly not in silence. They discuss their mission, the miracles that have been performed before them, and likely, what the future holds for them.
Growing up, in school groups, church groups, and social groups, most of our gatherings featured songs, which became integral to fostering the cohesiveness of the group and strengthening its purpose. Many of us sing some of those same songs today and enjoy the memories they foster.
The book of Psalms features many musical entries both sung and performed with instruments. There is little, if any, documentation regarding the melodies for those songs, only the wording of their tribute or lament.
Were Jesus and His disciples aware of those songs and did they sing them together during their travels? We don’t know, only that prayers were sung or chanted by the Hebrew faith. Did they extend backward to Jesus’ time?
Our friend, Pastor Chris Thore responded to that question with two articles that may shed some light on the question. https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/jesus-sings and Seven Biblical Reasons Why Singing Matters answer with what is known biblically about song in Jesus time and why it is important to us today, enriching our lives with the vast array of classical and popular pieces. Clearly, religious music and its offshoots were important to us then and are to this day.
