Many thanks to mothers who nurture the music in their children.#1. The oldest of musical mothers is Adah. She was Lamech's first wife and gave birth to Jubal, who "was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe." Jubal is nine generations removed from Adam. Genesis 4:20#2.

Bernard of Clairvaux in 1140 wrote the hymn, O Sacred Head, Now Wounded. A song sung often at Easter, I have come to love this piece for its musical beauty and its words Bernard penned in describing our Savior's death. We owe the English translation of Bernard's poetry to Paul Gerhardt, 1656, and J.W. Alexander, 1830. Hans L. Hassler in 1601 provided the melody and J.S. Bach in 1729, the

As we begin a new year, let us resolve to do two things. First, let us look for the intended meaning of the composer of any music we hear or read. And second, let us search for an inspiration to sing a new song, our own new song.In particular, I want to begin by looking at several examples of ancient music, several Psalms of the Christian Bible. With the start of the new year, it is only

Tchaikovsky once admitted, "Since I began to compose, I have made it my object to be, in my craft, what the most illustrious masters
