Sacred Music Should be Intense
Music—part 1
Some Christian musicians may object to the
philosophical concept
of “intense” musicing
unto God. The word intense, when connected
to musicing, means very
deeply concentrated or fervently earnest.
There is a definite
philosophical school of thought that, since
sacred musicing is not
about the performer, all sacred musicing must
be reserved and
detached or semi-detached from the Christian musician.
It is true that the
just shall live by faith rather than by sight,
feeling, joy or any
other emotion, since all of them are ephemeral.
(See Romans 1:17,
Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38.)
It seems almost
impossible to have a real relationship with Jesus
Christ that never
produces any emotions or to music unto the blessed
Trinity without some
emotion. One of the major factors of effective
musicing of sacred
music is the believability of genuine heart-felt
musical expressions
that exude from a holy heart-life.
