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.
