It is intrinsic, instinctive, it gives us much joy, solace, pleasure, puts rhythm into our steps, conjures up memories and can transport us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of how babies love to hear soft music, how they can be pacified by a lullaby and we are told that, even before birth, they are aware of these sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How very fortunate we are, at St Chad\u2019s to be surrounded by the music which is integral to Christian worship. As we make our way to church we hear the trills of song-birds (and haven\u2019t they been full-throated this Spring, though I have only once heard a cuckoo). The bells are summoning us, rung by our talented team of ringers, and, as we enter the building we hear the sound of our splendid organ being played by our inspirational organist and choirmaster, Martin (with John taking his place when Martin is away). Martin is often accompanied by the exquisite flute-playing of his wife, Cath, and from time to time there is the extra bonus of Peter\u2019s guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choir files in to lead us in our singing. We appreciate that we still have a choir \u2014 many churches no longer do. At our Youth Service once a month we enjoy listening to their band and the different instruments represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And let\u2019s not forget that we have a very musical Vicar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is now the turn of the congregation and how we enjoy singing the hymns whether they be traditional or the more recently written \u2018Worship Songs\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very occasionally, we have the well-attended \u2018Songs of Praise\u2019 services but the music is not confined to services. The popular \u2018Shower Singers\u2019 meet on Wednesdays and we are always delighted to host concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many references to singing and musical instruments in the Bible. In the Old testament, the origin of music is attributed to Jubal, \u2018the father of all those who play the lyre or pipe\u2019. Music was an important part of the life of ancient Israel and played an important role on family occasions \u2014 weddings, parties, homecomings and in daily activities such as well-digging, treading grapes and harvesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instruments were made from animal horns, skins or intestines, as well as brass and natural materials such as wood, pottery and stone. Some are familiar to us \u2014 cornet, flute, harp, cymbals, others more obscure \u2014 sackbut, psaltery and dulcimer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David immediately comes to mind as a Biblical character associated with music and recognised as such in the Book of Samuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weekly, we sing, or chant, psalms attributed to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though the New Testament has fewer references to music, it must have played a vital role in the early Christian community. Jesus and the disciples attended the temple and synagogue. We read in Mark 14 v26 \u2018When they had sung the hymns, they went out to the Mount of Olives.\u2019 Ephesians 5 v9 tells us early Christians engaged in the singing of \u2018psalms and hymns and spiritual songs\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are two examples of pieces of music which can stir the emotions profoundly. Mendelssohns\u2019s \u2018Wedding March\u2019 played on the organ when the bride enters the church, traditionally on her father\u2019s arm. The music soars joyfully, full of promise of a happy life ahead (though the mother of the bride may be wiping away a few tears surreptitiously).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cherished hymn \u2018Abide with me\u2019 by Henry Francis Lyte. It\u2019s very moving whether sung at Evensong on a dark winter\u2019s night or at a funeral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m quite sure everyone has favourite pieces of music, of all types, which are especially meaningful for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My final quote is from Charlie Parker, the great American jazz saxophonist \u2018Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don\u2019t live it, it won\u2019t come out of your horn\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Margaret Lingford<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(As always this View is the personal view of the author.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would you like to write a View from the Pews?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We welcome contributions for View from the Pews from anyone who would like to write one.
