If being Christian is so great, why is the music so bad?

I loved this post. I agree with it whole-heartedly. I am a piano and vocal performance major, and sad to say I perfer clasical music rather than to Christain music. Classical touches me more than Christian does. Classical seems to embody all of my emotion, all of the songs in piano - you get to intrepret them, you get to live the experience of hearing the music the way you want to. Or rather you hear it pure - with no words to lure you away from the music itself.I believe that Christain music is bland, is becuase it is copying other genres of music. We have already heard most of the styles and the methods of how they put that music together, therefore it is boring becuase we are over the thrill of hearing that particular method for the first time.The music needs somone creative.This is also written in response to Message I.------------------

Yes, some pieces were written at the request of rich patrons. But think of the whole picture. The composers also wrote many things that mean significant things to them or things that they have enjoyed. And it is these pieces that we classical people or people who are attuned to classical music remember very fondly.I think you have to look at the whole picture before you can say they were in it for the money. Becuase some of the less famous pieces have been so much fun for me to prepare and to perform, and a couple of those pieces hold fond memories. Even though they were not as famous, I believed that the composers lived up to their art, becuase the pieces have touched lives in ways that they could not have imagined.

Laugh out Loud on this post. I would agree with you on this one.

Sorry got into this topic a little late.What instruments? I am glad to have found someone else who has explored music as much as I have.------------------
