I am doing a presentation on the inner, spiritual dimensions of music at a barbershop educational conference, and if in your research you have found some good resources along those lines, I would appreciate the info. Thanks for your post!<BR/>ShaneShanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012132069904127909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-38003087323036489302009-03-06T08:15:00.000-08:002009-03-06T08:15:00.000-08:00Music is such an important way into God and the wa...Music is such an important way into God and the way he thinks. I've often compared the Bible to the orchestral score of a symphony: different parts, often dissonant, but always resolving into rich and deep harmony.<BR/><BR/>I'm also convinced that the conductor of the heavenly choir will be Herr J S Bach. I know - it's been said that when the choir sing for God they sing Bach, and when they sing for themselves they sing Mozart (and God eavesdrops).<BR/><BR/>But have you ever heard Leopold Stokowski's orchestrations of Bach? Now they have the flavour of glory about them - fantastic!Rev Tony Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248241050776947372noreply@blogger.com
