Music and God

Here is an item for your contemplation:

German composer Johann Sebastian Bach died July 28, 1750. He was considered the "master of masters," combining the tradition of Baroque music with harmonic innovations.

The majority of his works are religious, including "Passion According to St. Matthew," and "Jesus, Meine Freude" (Jesus, My Joy!).  In commenting on his music, Bach stated: "The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul. If heed is not paid to this, it is not true music but a diabolical bawling and twanging."

In the U.S. Supreme Court case McCollum v. Board of Education (1948), Justice Robert H. Jackson wrote: "It would not seem practical to teach ... appreciation of the arts if we are to forbid exposure of youth to any religious influences.

Music without sacred music, architecture minus the cathedral, or painting without the Scriptural themes would be eccentric and incomplete, even from a secular point of view ... One can hardly respect a system of education that would leave a student wholly ignorant of the currents of religious thought that moved the world."
