Intentions

Song

I had the privilege of listening to the Sophron string quartet play - and explain - arrangements of Prokofiev and Shostakovich last night. A blend of composers' intentions and performers' interpretations.

Scripture

Authorial intent(ion) is key.

"For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." - 2 Peter 1:21 (ESV)

Song + Scripture (Sound + Doctrine)

When singing hymns (even psalms), we need to understand the stories and Scripture underlying them.
