Religion and music have been closely related and developed together since the beginning of time. The base of Christian music is the Bible, the word of God, and Christians have a sort of mental attitude that they can honor and thank God through music. Musical instruments and church music have been tools for worshiping, praising, and proving God. However, in modern churches, musical instruments are often used with little understanding of them or of reasons for praise, and it poses risks of blurring the nature of church music and even secularizing Christian music. Therefore you have to thoroughly know correct instrument playing and arrangement skills, and you also have to be fully qualified as a performer or accompanist who leads worship music.
With the development of technology and the spread of computers, electronic instruments have been increasingly used in modern church music, as well as classical instruments, and electones are one of them. Worship music uses various musical instruments and consists of songs of various genres. When you arrange a piece of music and play it, it is necessary not to deviate significantly from the original version, and you have to be careful not to forget why you have chosen to use certain instruments. In addition, in order to play it effectively, it is very important to fully understand the characteristics of the instruments and set the tones of the instruments so that they fit the flow of the song.
An electone enables you to effectively arrange and play music with its various built-in functions and to replace several instruments and performers with one electone and one professional performer. Its good sound quality also helps you to perform as a “one-person orchestra.” Moreover, it is small enough to be played
in small churches.
I hope that more and more people will learn about electones’ development possibility and merits, and electones will be used in various genres of music as a unique electronic instrument. Also, I hope this study will be helpful when you play an electon as a professional performer at a church or concert.
