Museums and Musicians Continue to Honor and Revitalize Worship Music

Come 2015, everyone inspired by gospel and worship music may very well be heading to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). Priceless songs and ephemera from the Golden Age of Gospel will be featured at the museum, thanks to the Smithsonian's collaboration with Baylor University's Black Gospel Music Restoration Project. Under the leadership of Prof. Bob Darden, a former Billboard gospel editor, the project has been acquiring, preserving, and cataloging music in various tape formats produced between the 1940s and 1980s.

Worship Music Helps Communicate the Gospel during a Christian Service

There is no question that music plays an integral part in a church service as it moves the faithful to a deeper appreciation of the moment where they praise the Lord. Worship songs, like those produced by respected Christian musicians like Bishop Leonard Scott, carry out the message of the gospel which members get to internalize as they listen and sing along. The instruments play a vital role since guitars, drums, keyboards, and percussion help create a lively vibe or a calming effect. Whether sung by a soloist, the choir, or the entire congregation, these songs have more emphasis to the audience. It is more likely that the debate on this issue will continue as different church leaders differ when it comes to biblical interpretation. Essentially, instrumental worship has its advantages especially when the pastor calls for the church to come in front of the altar, as the instruments set a solemn atmosphere.
