My daughter is a flautist. That is, she plays the flute.
Tonight I attended the high school orchestra concert at her school. In the spring they do a pops concert which is very enjoyable. This evening they played some John Williams and Andrew Lloyd Webber pieces (music from Hook, Cats, and Phantom of the Opera). The music was gorgeous! Isn't it amazing that certain combinations of sound can touch us deeply - into the core of our being.
As the orchestra began playing the music from Hook, I found myself praising God. Though the music was written as a movie score and not necessarily to bring glory to God, it's beautiful. When anyone composes a beautiful piece of music or paints a masterpiece, or writes a great poem or novel he or she is glorifying God.
I say this because God is the Author of beauty. Beauty resonates in our hearts because when we create it or perform it or appreciate it, we reflect His image. Praise be to God for beauty of every kind!
