Using Piano Guitar and Other

👉🏾👉🏾👉🏾 Using #piano, #guitar and other instruments in the Church. (Part 2) (Continued) 👆 Our dear member is asking about modern electric musical instruments which were not previously known in our country, but are commonly used in the world of music. These instruments can produce high-quality sounds, but before discussing their use, it is important to understand why spiritual songs are sung, who sings them, when they are sung, and where they are sung. Orthodox Christians are familiar with these concepts, as Orthodox singing has its own system and standards. Musical instruments were used to accompany the psalms in the Old Testament, and many of the instruments mentioned in these texts are still used today. The instruments are not restricted or controlled, and people use them for various purposes. While the sound production method of modern instruments is different from the sound production used for singing, many of these instruments are still mentioned in the scriptures. The biblical hymns were accompanied by various instruments, including the Drum, Tsnasil, Masinko, Krar, Embilta, and Negarit. The holy book instructs us to praise God with these fathers use them to thank God. The sound of these instruments soothes the spirit and brings peace. King David of Israel, who is famous for his psalms, used a harp to soothe Saul, who was possessed by an evil spirit. In contrast, modern instruments can have a negative effect on people, causing them to behave inappropriately. Music can be like a drug that changes a person's mindset and makes them do things they may later regret. The songs we sing in God's house have a specific structure, and while modern instruments may be banned, their absence does not detract from the spiritual experience. The Psalms in the Bible contain prayer, supplication, thanksgiving, and repentance. The use of instruments is limited to certain times, such as during fasting when only the singer's voice is used. Our hands and feet can also serve as instruments, but their use is controlled and orderly. The goal of spiritual singing is to connect with God and bring us closer to a life of repentance. The Levites, priests, and people in the Torah were given a standard for how to sing in the house of God. Mary, the sister of Moses, used a drum to sing "praises, for God" after they crossed the Eritrean Sea and entered the land of Canaan. Over time, traditional spiritual instruments like the ry, harp, and kraar have been incorporated into modern songs along with guitars and other instruments. (Continued) 👇
