Music reviews of Byzantium: 330-1453

Music Review: Soothing and Educational
Rating: 5 Stars

What a pleasure to hear this aspect of history being performed. The voices are on tune, clear and crisp and represent to a student the abstract of what this ought to sound like. Indeed, it becomes even more delightful when one considers the object of the worship, i.e. Christ; it is after all, the actual context of the chants. They were never originally meant for the self-centered carnal entertainment of an anti-covenant audience.

From the historical perspective, had they bothered to look, the real Hebrews as-well-as their (post 550 A.D.) current non-Hebrew non-semitic ideological progeny should have known who he was - but for their voluntary blindness obtained in the following the Egyptian and Babylonian anti-Abrahamic **anti-semitic** oral traditions, as the truth in their state of anti-covenant rebellion, has always been offensive to them.

As relating to one of the exposes of the Messiah from His covenant worship perspective: we gladly refer to Psalm 2 and Zechariah 12.

Psm. 2:14-31 "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: ***they pierced my hands and my feet.*** 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. 22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations [without lineage distinction - LtC] shall worship before thee. 28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations. 29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this."

Zech. 12:10 "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me [i.e. the same person that has been speaking all-along from verse 1 - LtC] whom they [i.e. the final Hebrew-speaking generations maintaining the **anti-semitic** Egyptian/Babylonian "oral" traditions - LtC] have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
