ANCIENT MINISTERS OF MUSIC—part 2

ANCIENT MINISTERS OF MUSIC—part 2
            Special note should be made of the word natsach (5329).  This term used in the title of fifty-four of the Psalms connotes a person with great charisma.  This musician was to glitter from afar.  This person was to be a powerful leader and an accomplished musician.  So, we can see that the chief musician was an eminent leader of music in the Temple.
            The Levite musicians were called or separated for a particular service--that service was leading music worship in the Temple.  I Chronicles 15:16 states, "And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be singers with instruments of music, psalteries, and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy."  Verse seventeen goes on to mention the names of Heman, Asaph, and Ethan (Jeduthun) who were chief musicians.
