Denying Transmittable Meaning-part1


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.
