Features Of Adventist Music Seattle

By William Harris


Songs are usually intended to praise God, and they are traditionally the gifts that the Christians are given to praise God. More so, songs are usually the most important element in every spiritual program since it acts as an avenue to communicate with the Supreme Being. However, there are slight differences in the way people do their singing. The Adventist music Seattle has some principles that are followed by the congregation and the church takes this form of melodies to be compatible with the principles of the church.

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 it chances that there is a choir in the church, it is mandatory to ensure that there is the availability of an overall song composer. The composer should thus make sure that the composed songs are meaningful and acceptable. More so, the singers are supposed to show a lot of preparedness and dedication while singing. Piano instruments should also be played in harmony with the songs and the instrumentalist should be experienced.

During the singing session, it is upon the instrumentalist to make sure that the piano harmonizes with the melodies of a congregation. If there are vocal solos as well as special songs, the singers have to see to it that the context of a song follows the general principles and sing to praise God not to show off his/her prowess in singing.

In youth singing, it is also mandatory for the youth to sing by church principles as well. Usually, youths tend to identify themselves with a culture that is contemporary to youth lifestyle thus they end up singing songs with idiomatic elements which may cause rhythmical issues. They thus differ with the principles set by the church.

There are so many traditional folk songs that are legitimate and respected thus some of them are acceptable in the Adventist melodies. However, any folk song is supposed to be judged just like the other songs thus it has to follow the general principles laid on the other themes. Any distortion of a human voice is not allowed. Thus it should be avoided.

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.
