Music is an important part of our daily life. And it s a valuable part of every church service. We know how much of a blessing music can be in our everyday lives. This is why musical worship is so important in church. It is a time for musicians, singers, and congregation to join together in worshipping God.
Hebrew music seems to have emphasized rhythm over melody.
Hebrews loved to dance and become involved in their musical worship. Often the songs were sung in two parts where one group sang the first part and the next group responded with the second part. According to Gower, Music was very much a part of religious life, and musicians had always been important. They were classed along with smiths and those who possessed flocks and herds. Verse 1 David and the chiefs of the service also set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with lyres, with harps, and with cymbals.
