The Bible and Music

Class on March 28th brought two guest speakers. I like it when we have the guest speakers because it’s a new perspective on the topic we’re going over at the time and it’s a nice change of pace. I liked that the speakers both were engaging with the class asking us a lot of questions about what we heard and what we thought about the music that we were listening to. I had never heard of Arvo Part before but his music was pretty interesting to listen to. I also was intrigued by the video we watched especially when he was tapping the bells listening to the sound they made. It was clear that he was already thinking about what kind of musical piece could be created out of these sounds and that’s something that is really cool to think about and see happen.
