- Description:
- Ben Sigel was Professor of Music. The service begins with organ music (00:00-08:09). Ben Sigel Johnson is introduced as the faculty lecturer (08:10-11:14). Johnson begins his lecture by speaking about music expressing theology, and the title of his lecture is “The Theological Viewpoints of Four Master Composers” (11:15-14:30). Johnson’s first composer he presents is Johann Sebastian Bach, and he says the Bach’s Lutheran upbringing inspired music that expressed a human’s mystical union with Christ (14:31-18:16). Johnson’s second composer he presents is Ludwig van Beethoven, and he says that Beethoven had a profound faith that was revealed in his music though he was nominally Catholic (18:17-23:32). Johnson’s third composer he presents is Felix Mendelssohn, and he says that Mendelssohn’s music was influenced by the theology of Friedrich Schleiermacher but with a greater appreciation for the Old Testament (23:33-30:08). Johnson briefly compares the liturgical compositions of Franz Liszt and Anton Bruckner (30:09-33:32). The final composer Johnson presents is Johannes Brahms, and he says that Brahms’s music expresses the mercy of God (33:33-39:08). The choir sings an ensemble from Johannes Brahms (39:09-45:19). Johnson concludes his lecture by walking through one of Brahms’ ensembles (45:20-49:34). The service ends with a word of prayer (49:35-50:27).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 95:1-3 (00:00-00:36), a prayer (00:37-02:44), and responsive reading #26 (02:45-05:04). There was no introduction for Ben Sigel Johnson, but he was Professor of Music at SEBTS. His address focuses on music and worship in the place of chapel and the local church (05:05-05:39). He references the worship mentioned in the Old Testament Scriptures to emphasize that leading others in worship through musical instruments and singing has the same focus now as then—to bring the glory of the Lord into the house of God (05:40-07:22). He makes a brief announcement about the need for more choir members for both the men’s choir and the mixed choir (07:23-08:17), and he also employs suggestions from John Wesley’s words for the congregation in worship (08:18-10:35). Johnson adds an additional congregational admonition for SEBTS, synchronizing the singing across the entire chapel based on the delay between the played note and the received sound (10:36-12:02). He ends his time by leading the congregation in singing hymn #182 [no audio] before the service ends with instrumental music (12:03-13:24).
