The Bible and Music

During class on March 21, we participated in a class activity in which we added beats to some text from the Bible as a way of making music out of it. For me, it’s always been fairly easy to come up with a sort of beat for something fairly quickly. The only downside is that a lot of the beats I make up are very similar in that they are faster beats. It will definitely be a challenge for me to come up with a beat that would go with something that’s much slower than I’m used to but I also know that there is a lot of importance in how long notes are held out and how much rhythm is changed from the speaking rhythm to something more musical.
