The Bible and Music

Over the weekend, I celebrated Easter. I went to the Holy Triduum masses, which include, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. During these masses, I really noticed the effect the music can have on a church service. During more somber moods, more quiet and deep music was played. During rejoice times, happy and light music was played. On Good Friday, no music was played in reverence for the death of Christ. I thought it was very powerful to listen to the music and see what you can learn about scripture, through song. It is very cool to see how music can affect the mass and how it adds to it.
