New Philosophies of a Chief Musician

New Philosophies of a Chief Musician

                Since post postmodernism is so much in the early stages of development, no one knows with certainty how the new epistemology (the theory of validity and knowing) of millennials and will play out in these millennials music philosophy and music praxis?  They will most likely consider religious musicing to be an event rather than an opportunity to humbly come into God’s presence with singing and musicing.  They are so filled with humanism that they consider that all musicing begins and ends with the musician. 

               The concept of a Chief musician musicing as a humble ministering servant has in the last part of the 20^th century and now in the 21^st century morphed into a musician who is chief of his or her religious musicing.  The Bible principle of a skilled musician worshiping YHVH in the spirit of sharath (8334) i.e. one who worships in the spirit of a menial, has been lost in the plethora of confusion that now surrounds public worship.  Many Christian musicians who are educated by humanists have accepted the philosophical notion that musicing in and out of public worship is largely about self-actualization, career development and self-aggrandizement.  Christian musicians who are servants of Jesus Christ must be reminded that sacred musicing is not about self but rather the blessed Trinity.
