Learning the Way of God More Perfectly
King James Bible 1611 Then and Now

Absolute Music for an Absolute God
The Cleanliness of the Sound
The Design of Japheth's Purest Music
Outline of audio sermon:
(as always, there is preaching within the audio that you won't find in the notes/outline)

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
Psalm 89:15

The sound of late Baroque and early Classical is so clean, most folks are bored with it and can't even listen to it, let alone appreciate it and be edified by it.  That is how corrupted we have become over the 'beat' and 'design' of modern music today.


The "Sound" of Absolute Music
virtuoso - a skilled master performer of a particular instrument

coloratura - the variation on a specific word to the vocalist.  When they sing 'valley' in The Messiah, the singer stays on the word valley and sings 'all over the place.'  The same with the word 'change' in today's example.


Musical Examples:

Excerpts from Mozart's...
Clarinet Concerto in A Major
    I.  Allegro
    II. Adagio
    III. Rondo

Notice how this music 'carries' you with the sound - modern music today pushes you with the beat!

The Messiah
I Corinthians 15:21,22 to 51-53 to Revelation 5:12,13
    Since By Man Came Death
    Behold, I Tell You A Mystery
    The Trumpet Shall Sound
    Worthy is the Lamb
