Three Kinds of Music

Image
Three Kinds of Music You will find as you go to the Scriptures that there are three kinds of music. The strongest emphasis in the Scriptures is on sacred, worshipful music. A second kind of music is mentioned from time to time-music that is entertaining in nature, to lift your mood, perhaps to work by. And there is a third kind of music mentioned from time to time-degenerate music. Certainly, if you notice what is around you in the world, there seems today to be more degenerate music in our culture by far than there ever has been. Then again, there have always been “bar songs” and other entertainments that were sarcastic and derogatory toward other people, values and ideas. Why is this important?

POLYCHORDS

Polychords are everywhere in music – all kinds of music. And yet polychords are often not fully understood, or even worse, are viewed as “scary” and “difficult,” leaving students to dismiss them as too advanced for their own understanding. Well, polychords are not too scary, difficult, or advanced. In fact, they are sometimes used to make advanced chords easier to understand and play Polychords: How To Define Them Let’s break this down into “ poly”-“chords .” We know what “chords” are, of course. Chords are two or more notes played simultaneously. Major and minor triads are some of the first chords we learn at the piano. “Poly” simply means “more than one” – as in, “two or more.” So a polychord is simply a single chord that incorporates two different chords. Polychords: Examples Let’s first review slash chords before we look at some polychord examples. Slash chords are very closely related to polychords . Remember that slash chords are written using a slash, with a chord ind...
