A new approach to religious music

What with cleaning down all that meringue, Hnaef never had the chance to tell me about this yesterday. That and the frequent cold stares he received from Mrs Hnaef for what we now refer to around the Community as "That   Pavlova Pun".
But he's now alerted me to this verse from 1 Chronicles 15.

In the NIV it's "Kenaniah the head Levite was in charge of the singing; that was his responsibility because he was skillful at it."
While in the NRSV it's "Chenaniah, leader of the Levites in music, was to direct the music, for he understood it."

Either way, it's gonna be a real problem for the music group if we start applying criteria like that to the leadership of the music group. It seems that, on Biblical mandate, three chords is no longer enough.

  1. Just a thought, but is a one stringed harp really all you need?
