Musical
Meaning in Musical Sounds-part 1 .
1
Corinthians 14:7 teaches, “And even things without life giving sound , whether
pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be
known what is piped or harped?”
Although
over the years I have discussed musical meaning at length in this blog, I would
like to revisit it very briefly. One of
the objectives of developing a Christocentric music philosophy is to
incorporate musical principles into systematic beliefs about the nature and
value of a musician’s music praxis.
Every Christian must recognize that if the words of the songs we sing
are truly biblical then they embody truth.
These music texts represent truth because the message of the “words” is
true. If they accurately teach Bible
principles they represent what Francis Schaefer called “true truth”.
Thought
for the Day
It is not popular to discuss truth in
this century because so many musicians believe that all “truth” is relative
truth, and this situational truth changes often.
