That's a very high compliment, and it is equally true of today's "secular" music. The vast majority of both "inspirational" and "secular" music heard today will simply evaporate like the morning mist, only to be heard again on rare occasions. This is not new. J.S. Bach is held in almost universal high regard, yet many of his over 200 cantatas are seldom performed today. The same is true of hymn writers like Fanny Crosby or Charles Wesley. They wrote some great hymns, but the vast majority they wrote has not stood the test of time. Among the best of today's Christian composers today, I think, is the Irish/Nashville husband and wife team, Keith and Kristyn Getty. http://www.gettymusic.com/home I think several songs they have written and performed will still be sung twenty or more years from now. cotten |
