giving thanks & praising the Lord.”

Main job:

- To proclaim God-inspired revelation- Same as the prophet spoke.- The message: scriptural & personal

Prophesy:

- Music- Sung & played skillfully (25:7)- Variety of instruments &

styles(Ps. 149 & 150)

- To support the message

The medium:

Attack & Release

Blending• Good blend is the result of vowel uniformity• Will retain one’s individuality or vocal identity• Involve lips, tongues, & jaws; ears to hear

interacting with other voices• No individual voices will dominate a section’s

soundor “stick out”

• Will have 4 clearly defined sectional sounds, vs a conglomerate of whatever number of voices

• Eliminate vocal force and strong vibrato

Rhythm

• Rhythm is the soul of the music• 拍子就是音樂的規律• Pulse• Meter• Sub-pulse• Phrasing: climax (music gets

somewhere)• Anacrusis: pick up notes

Vibrato

• Metric Accent: normal groupings (strong & weak)• Dynamic Accent: loudness• Agogic Accent: duration• Tonic Accent: highest or lowest tone• Harmonic Accent: dissonance• Pattern Accent: the beginning of a recurring

pattern.• Expressive Accent: delay
