May be duly appreciated, leaves unclosed a number of sluices under the term ad libitum, in hope that, through these openings, the superfluous store of musical feeling may be ejected. The so-called cadences, introduced by celebrated singers into the airs of the mighty Handel, may thus seem to claim a tacit, if not an actual permission on the part of the author;—but it is a permission, not so much of composition, Christian Louboutin Outlet as of execution. Handel had too much respect for public feeling, too much contempt for the inventive talents and modesty of public singers, and too much insight into his own hasty temper, to permit either himself or his audience to be abused by the miserable trimmings that disfigure the modern performance of Christian Louboutin Outlet his oratorios. Where he intended a cadence, he placed one, in accordance with the style of his own magnificent genius and the character it assumed in the particular composition: The singer, if he had a vocal overflow, might direct it in these channels if he pleased. But Handel never supposed, and could never have endured, the hundredth part of those rambling interminable violations of time, tune, propriety, and musical good sense, which are rolled out of the throats of the favorites of the present day, and applauded with such rapturous exultation by the multitude, that you no longer wonder at the low state of music in this country, when the chief part of Handel's pieces, that meet with public approbation, are such as Handel never wrote, and as Handel never could have written. So great, however, has been the enthusiasm excited , among amateurs Cheap Parajumpers Jackets Sale by these cadences, and so gainful have they proved to the men of sound, that modern composers exhibit the greatest condescension to134 THE MUSIC OF THE CHURCH*.popular taste,—and beside rambling themselves over every variety of wanton and unintelligible jargon, leave the singer full liberty to detain the assembly in the 4 wildering mazes ' of his extemporaneous labyrinth, so long as he perceives by the sparkle of the eye, and the erection of the ear, the continuance of public approbation.While these liberties were only taken with operas and oratorios, the outrage was rather against good taste, than religious decorum. But when Church Music was made the tool for this display, the sanctity of the temple gave an air of decided impiety to the violations of taste. The services, in one most important particular, lost their sacred character.

The anthem, the chant, and the psalm, became secularized, and the music of the sanctuary differed Ray Ban Sunglasses Uk Sale in no essential respect from the music of a vain and empty world.Yet however persons may differ respecting this profusion of ornament, when applied to secular compositions, there can surely be but one opinion as to their admission into the Church. Saered music, as a medium of divine communications, ought to possess a character of its own—so distinct from the music of the concert room, as in no respect to recal vain and idle associations. The same marked contrast should be visible in the style of performance. Any attempt to assimilate the service of Jehovah to the amusements of the theatre, is in effect to associate God and Mammon. It is to make the Holy One pander to human iniquity—it is to point the weapons of His warfare against His servants—it is to fill the vessels of the temple with the wine of a Belshazzar s banquet—it is, in the expressive language of scripture, ' to bring the hire of a whore, and the price of a dog into the house of the Lord our God.'1» Deut, xxiii. 18.THE CHOIR.135The practice, which obtains in many places, of hiring singers from the theatre or opera-house, to perform upon festival days in the church, is especially to be deplored, as one grand source of the evil complained of. It can never be expected of such characters, that they should at once exclude from their minds, the levity, impurity, vanity, and cringing obsequiousness of their daily occupation, and assume the merest particular of that solemnity, devotion, and holy affection, without which all sacrifice is 4 abomination unto the Lord.' Can the Ethiopian change his 2014 Ray Bans Lens Types skin, or the leopard his spots ? The same fondness for vain and frivolous compositions—the same love for ostentatious decorations—the same grasping after human applause and human reward, which are fostered by theatrical performances, must necessarily pursue the musician into his engagement in higher Ray Ban Collections Sunglasses duties. The more so, as between his casual connection with the Church, Ray Ban Justin Sunglasses Outlet and his stated connection with the opera, there is so close an analogy, that in either case, he perceives the Ray Ban Sunglasses Uk Sale beauty of his voice, and not the morality of his conduct, is the grand subject of inquiry. The consequences are such as may be expected.
