If I like it I like it If I dont I dont. Although my taste of music is probably different from many. I enjoy worship to hard core Christian rock, I even like some classical, dont ask me what the songs are called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so disheartening to see music used as a gimmick and for entertainment and for the pleasure of the one who is "performing" and not for worship of our Lord... makes me sad indeed..

Minor keys are what's played when the bad guys enter the bar, when Bambie's mother dies, when Schindler sees the body girl in the red coat carried away with the rest, stuff like that. Minor keys give music a sad feel. They are good for soul searching songs ("Lost the Plot" by the Newsboys), for mourning (if someone were to make a song out of Psalm 88), to express fear, etc. Major keys are bright notes - they make you feel happy. The complaint is how the modern style of music is heavy on minor keys - and minor keys and praise songs just don't mix right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its sad to see "christians" trying to boogie to soulish music, or being hyped up on rock music. When God is glorified my spirit just naturally wants to praise Him, i dont need to be hyped up or lulled by soulish music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this have to do with major and minor keys? "Amazing Grace" is played in major keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogie for the L-rd.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modern music played in minor keys isn't the most foot-tapping oriented in the world, if you catch my meaning. Le sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Group. Ross with his acoustic guitar, and us singing "Turn your eyes upon Jesus". Simple stuff. If you listen to Hillsong for instance, after a while it all sounds the same. But what I really love is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" - it is heavenly music, especially when I am alone in my car and I can crank it up! It lifts me up in worship. I played it to my nephew the other day and he said, wow, this is new, who is it, this I like (coming from someone who thinks the Foo fighters play "music", that was really funny ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
