Kristin from Phoenix, AZ, asked:
Hi Julie!
I have a fun question.
Do they have concerts in Heaven?
Thanks,
Kristin
Hi Kristin,
That is a fun question.
When I think of music in Heaven, I envision angels playing harps and trumpets and singing celestial-sounding melodies.
In fact, music is mentioned several times in the Bible, both in the Old and New Testaments.
For example, Moses and the Israelites sing a song in Exodus 15, while Revelation 5:8-9 and 14:2-3 talk about harps and Revelation 8-11 talks about trumpets.
In addition, there is music that generates an energetic and/or emotional response from us mere mortals. Have you ever heard music that gave you chill bumps or made you teary? I believe that’s heavenly music or at least heavenly-inspired music.
When our son Jonathan was a freshman in high school, his choir sang Poulenc’s Gloria.
Although I hadn’t ever heard of the composer Francis Poulenc or his Gloria, when I heard it performed, tears streamed down my cheeks because it was so beautiful and felt spiritually inspired.
So, to answer your question, yes, all types of music are played and sung in Heaven and right here on earth too! I love the thought of angels accompanying the great masters like Beethoven, Bach, and Tchaikovsky as well as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, and Pavarotti!
I am a musician and have many musician friends that have passed and I’ve often wondered if they have found each and are jamming in heaven together! I miss jamming with them here thats for sure!
You know they are and are enjoying the music!
Well that’s good because music feeds the soul. We all need it! But especially my dad. He loved all kinds of music.
My dog Lego passed away on Monday. He really should have been a therapy dog but we never pursued it. My hope is that God is using him as one for someone in Heaven that needs comfort after a traumatic life. He would be perfect for that. Miss him so much. 😭😭😭
So sorry about your pup. He’s with you in spirit.
We musicians KNOW heavenly choirs and bands HAVe to exist. Our lives here and these would be greatly diminished without them!!!🎶🎶🎶
I absolutely agree!
I can’t wait to attend the concert. 🥰
You know it’ll be superb!
