Denying Transmittable Meaning-part1
In order to be free of any philosophical
restraint, a Christian musician
needs only to believe
that in the context of musicing unto God
the music part of
music says nothing, represents nothing, means nothing
and is incapable of
exerting any positive or negative influence on
the performer or auditor.
This lackluster music philosophy allows the
use of a music praxis
based on the belief that “anything goes, anything works, and anything is
appropriate” for public or private worshiper in secular musicing.
This philosophical
pursuit is called a “praxis” because it is an “on
purpose” way of
musicing, regardless of whether or not it is thought
out or written.
With this intentional denial of the
existence of transmittable
musical meaning, a
musician is free to music without any restraint.
This praxis allows
any musical style to be used in music worship
because those who
follow this philosophical pursuit falsely believe
all music styles are
appropriate to represent the “joyful sound”.
With the acceptance
of this false belief, the musician is free to become
autonomous in
philosophy and practice.
