Applause, Hand Waiving, Drumming, & Dancing in the Church. Some Preliminary Reflections on Some Current Issues on Worship By © Samuel Koranteng-Pipim, Ph.D.
Director, Public Campus Ministries, Michigan Conference www.drpipim.org Questions are being raised today about the legitimacy of applause (clapping), uplifted hands, drumming, and dancing in Seventh-day Adventist worship services. These phenomena have been fueled by several factors. Among them are: Monty Python's Flying Circus - "Four Yorkshiremen" [ from the album Live At Drury Lane, 1974 ] The Players: Michael Palin - First Yorkshireman; Graham Chapman - Second Yorkshireman; Terry Jones - Third Yorkshireman; Eric Idle - Fourth Yorkshireman; The Scene: Four well-dressed men are sitting together at a vacation resort. 'Farewell to Thee' is played in the background on Hawaiian guitar.

That word captures the enduring fascination of Henry Machyn's Chronicle.

Beginnings, as Far as we know Them : Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteenth Century. Fig. 1-9 Harpist in the garden of Sennacherib, shown in a neo-Assyrian bas-relief from the palace at Niniveh, seventh century b.c.e., 500 years later than the earliest musical notation, of similar geographical provenance, to have been successfully transcribed in modern times.
That piece, described in the text, could have been performed by one or both of the figures represented here. This new “beginning” was established in 1974 when a team of Assyriologists and musicologists at the University of California at Berkeley managed to decode and transcribe the musical notation on a cuneiform tablet dating from around 1200 bce that had been unearthed on the site of the ancient Babylonian city of Ugarit, near Ras-Shamra in modern Syria.11 The tablet contained a hymn, composed in Hurrian, a dialect of the Sumerian language, to the goddess Nikkal, the wife of the moon god.

It was over thirty years ago that I first heard our good friend Austin Lovelace say, "Hymnody is always one generation away from extinction.

If we do not teach the psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs of the church to our children, Austin said, how will they learn to love and preserve this heritage of faith? At the time I did not think it possible that congregations would ever replace the classic hymns of the church with commercially-produced popular worship songs. But I took Austin's words to heart and, as a children's choir director, church educator, and pastor, always made it a priority to involve children and youth in congregational song in as many ways as I could.
Middle Eastern Music: An Introduction. Table of Contents There is a good reason why Middle Eastern music sounds somewhat exotic to those of us raised in European-based culture -- it does have some identifiable characteristics that distinguish it from the European-influenced music we have heard all our lives.
People with musical training in Western music often quickly become fascinated with Oriental music once they have learned a bit about it. Music in general is a very subtle, very complex subject, and it's difficult to render a discussion of it into writing. Even more challenging is attempting to cover such a topic within the space constraints of a brief article like this. Many of the comments in this article are simplifications and generalities--enough to give a taste of how Oriental music is structured, but not enough to explore the subject in the depth it truly deserves.

Never before and never since has the palette of musical hues been as rich as in the sixteenth century...1 The Renaissance was an exciting age in Western Europe.
As the word "renaissance" suggests, the idea of "rebirth" came from revival of interest in the art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome. During the 15th and 16th centuries scholarship was broadened to include areas of secular thought which had been neglected in earlier centuries when the church held more sway over learning.
