The Bible and Music

Today in class Dr. Saler came in to speak with us to talk about the most performed living composer in the world, Arvo Part. One of the things he said that really stuck with me was when he gave the example of how one would say “thank God” after almost getting into a wreck but making it out okay. I haven’t given much thought to how I think God plays a role in what happens on earth. This really got me thinking, trying to find my stance on the question. He also passed around one of the books written about Arvo and when I looked at it the things that jumped out to me were some of the weird drawings throughout. Some of them were musical notes written by Arvo, which I found really cool. I know have something to go home and think about.
