Music Lessons

[Musterseed]

Since I learned that the Psalms are songs , I was inspired to study about 🎶 music.
I'd like to share some of what I learned.
I came across an article that the word of the day is cacophony. I recognized
that word from studying words that define poems, music and other writings.

Cacophony...... noise, roar, rattle, chatter, commotion, clatter, din, clamour.
A mishmash of unpleasant sounds often at loud volume.
It's what you'd hear if you gave instruments to a bunch of four year olds and
asked them to play one of Beethoven's  symphonies.

A cacophony is a jarring discordant mix of sounds that have no business being
played together, When the orchestra tunes up before a show, it sounds like a cacophony because each musician is playing a completely different tune, at
different times and at different volumes. Once the show begins, that cacophony
had better turn into a melody or the audience will want their money back.
The melody is the most important part of a song.

Of course the antonym to cacophony is silence, stillness, lull, calm, tranquility.

Our composer has composed a new song , music to our ears, the sound of silence.

Psalm 57:7... My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast, I will sing and make melody.
Psalm 33:3.... Sing to Him a New Song; play skillfuly on the strings, with loud shouts.

Love Pamela, still learning to sing .

Hi Pamela

Hi Pamela, I pray you are well and that you are feeling better and you're not in as much pain .Believe it or not. This is the third time I'm writing on here the last two times I deleted it before I even posted it.Lol
That's an interesting word you wrote about cacophony reminds me of a word my mom used to say to us when we were getting too loud when we were kids she'd say quit acting like a bunch of caca pee pees sure brings back a lot of memories

Psalms definitely has some beautiful songs in it thanks for the info. Very interesting.


God bless

Caca pee pees, hahaha, Wendy. That's the language of the crows.
caw caw or kaw kaw.
When we were growing up kaw kaw meant poop.💩😂

I found this in MWebster dictionary.
Cacophony is a noisy word.
Cacophony comes from a joining of phone ( sound or voice) with the Greek prefix
Kaw-from (kakos) meaning bad. So it essentially means bad sound, like one made
over territory.

Kako is responsible for far fewer English words, but one notable descendant is
Kakistocracy, meaning .... government by the worst people.
And one of the synonyms is babel.

I think the definition of kaw kaw being poop is sufficient.

And I am feeling better, thank you so much.

In Christ, Pamela
