Characteristics Of Adventist Music Seattle

By William Harris


Church hymnals are intended to glorify and praise God. They are usually considered to be gifts that are only used to praise God. More so, songs tend to be very important in any spiritual program as they are good forms of worship. Adventist music Seattle has a rather different genre compared to all the other types of praise. This is because some principles have been set to ensure that any form of singing is in line and compatible with these church principles.

Other forms of classical like jazz, rock, pop songs and any other related melodies are usually not considered to be compatible with the principles of a church. The church songs are thus considered to be the eternal and primary activity of mankind to praise God. Therefore, there should be careful planning in every classical element to make sure that the congregation participates.

Any song that is used during long sessions in the church is supposed to praise the creator. Thu, the melody should have a poetic rhythm, be singable and robust. Additionally, the church minister is usually required to show the keen interest in the singers so that he ensures the quality of a song observes all the set principles of the church.

If there is a choir, there must be a master composer who composes meaningful anthems which will be sung by the musicians that are well prepared and dedicated. There should also be instrumental classical such as a piano to harmonize with the choir during singing, and they must be handled by a player who is able and well trained.

During the singing, the instrumentalist should be able to accompany the congregation in the worship melodies. If it chances that there are special songs or vocal solos in the church, the context of a music must be directed to praising God, and the singer should not sing to showcase his/her vocal prowess. The message should be communicated in a paramount way as well.

When it comes to the youth evangelism, the suggestions and principles of these songs will still apply. This is because the young people tend to identify closely with melodies of contemporary youth culture. Therefore, the youth will tend to use idiomatic elements that bring problems with the rhythm of the songs as they tend to differ from the set principles.

Additionally, several folk songs are traditional, and they tend to be legitimate as well as respectable. The ones that have been accepted by the house of God should, however, follow the same rules and guidelines. More so, when the congregation or an individual is singing, there should not be any altering or distortion of the vocals.

More so, the harmonic treatment should not be so saturated as it will act as the distraction from the true quality and spirituality of the anthem. When singing, the performers should not have a visual presentation that is excessive and inappropriate. More so, they must be appropriately dressed while singing. Additionally, there should not be excessive instrumental as well as vocal amplification by the instrumentalist.
