Don, As usual, you went on a semi-literate diatribe, just to differ with me, but the fact is, liturgical music used in the Catholic Church, up till Bach, and even used today, up to even now, was the Gregorian Chants, though that has been changed since Bach. The chants were homo-phonic. Also Bach's music had the unique characteristic of having multiple 'melodies' going on, at the same time, which made up the chords. This in itself was quite revolutionary at the time....but I'm 'sure' you knew that, huh?

Also, 'Smexy' as explained is a cool term...sorta like 'sexy' and 'smarmy'...but I'd like to hear from 'DrugCrazed' if that's where is came from.

And one more point, some music, played well, and composed with certain things in mind, is FAR MORE spiritual, then many messages, heard or adhered to in churches!!..even today!


Reference to Bach, and polyphonic music. Note the words, 'The Church EVENTUALLY. ...."

When Jesus started his 'preaching' the FIRST place he went, was to the temples....and in like manner, certain music, done right, as per aforementioned, absolutely SHOULD be played in churches..and in auditoriums, and stereos, and on the street....whatever it takes, to get it into peoples ears, and into their hearts!...besides, a pithy tune, sent with well constructed lyrics, will roll around in someone's head, a lot longer, than a dry, doctrinal, sermon, which is soon forgotten, once the folks leave the church, and head for brunch!
