Scott's Thoughts: At a Solemn Music
http://ashbyme.blogspot.com/2007/12/at-solemn-music.html
Sunday, December 02, 2007. At a Solemn Music. Thanks to Dr. Kevin Bauder for pointing me to this work. Not reading Milton on a daily basis, it took me a few reads, but it's worth it! At a Solemn Music. Blest pair of Sirens, pledges of Heaven’s joy,. Sphere-born harmonious sisters, Voice and Verse,. Wed your divine sounds, and mixed pow’r employ,. Dead things with inbreathed sense able to pierce;. And to our high-raisèd phantasy present. That undisturbed song of pure concent,. To Him that sits thereon,.

http://ashbyme.blogspot.com/2006/09/shepherding-responsibilities.html
Saturday, September 02, 2006. Note: This post was written for the Church Music Newsletter originating from Ashby Musical Enterprises. I’m a daddy!

http://ashbyme.blogspot.com/2007/02/job-description-of-music-director.html
Saturday, February 17, 2007. Job Description of a Music Director. What exactly is the job of a church music director? Below are some suggested duties of the music pastor (one who uses music in his pastoral ministry). These duties may vary according to the abilities of the music director and may be delegated. In churches where the music director is female, some of these duties may need to be carried out by a knowledgeable deacon or layman. Rehearsal of choirs, small groups and soloists where necessary.

Thursday, October 12, 2006. Physical Effects and Spiritual Impulses. I enjoy reading Charles Spurgeon. Although I don’t always agree with every view that he held ,. Does have a timelessness about him that is especially true when identifying problems within the church. Consider this passage from his comments on Psalm 47:7: “Sing ye. With understanding.”. What has a sensuous delight in organs, anthems, etc., to do with devotion? Do not men mistake physical effects for spiritual impulses? Identifying and ex...

Scott's Thoughts: The Gospel of Christmas
http://ashbyme.blogspot.com/2006/12/gospel-of-christmas.html
Friday, December 01, 2006. The Gospel of Christmas. I love the music of Christmas. However, sometimes the familiarity of the Christmas story and the cozy, familiar atmosphere created by Christmas hymns and carols, along with the shopping frenzy, distract believers from truly meditating on the significance of Christmas. Consider the following hymn taken from the 4th century and allow it’s unfamiliarity to engage your thinking about the gospel. Let all mortal flesh keep silence,. Our full homage to demand.
