Base Note
A bass note is the foundation of a chord.
By itself, the bass note sounds incomplete.
You may not even notice the bass note in a piece of music because bass notes are rarely featured in a song.
But, without a bass note a chord is not anchored and the sound is not complete.
So, in this song, we have the foundation of our story.
It is not the major feature, but it sets the time, place, and people which God will bless the whole world with the birth of His Son.
Our bass notes then are :
The Sixth month - this is the 6th month of Mary’s cousin Elizabeth’s pregnancy of John the Baptist.
Angel Gabriel one of only 3 angels who are named in the Bible.
Michael, Satan, and Gabriel.
God - the triune creator of all things.
The author of salvation.
Nazareth - a town in the region of Galilee.
Joseph - a godly and righteous man.
a royal descendant of king David working as a carpenter.
Mary - a godly virgin engaged to Joseph.
From this line of bass notes, God builds this song.
Grace Note
a grace note is an ornamental note that accents the principle note.
Mary is a grace note not only because she would accent or ornament her great son, Jesus, but also because she recieved undeserved favor from God to carry and give birth to our Lord.
Major Chord
house of Jacob means all the tribes of Israel.
The nation as a whole not just the divided kingdom, but the unified people of God.
Anticipation - this is what the Jews had been waiting for.
Mary was waiting for Him.
Joseph was waiting for Him
We need to anticipate the coming of Jesus as well especially this Christmas season.
Dissonant Note
With one note a major chord can be changed into the sound of tension and uncertainty.
This is a dissonant note.
In our song Mary sings this dissonant note of wonder and confusion.
Consonant Resolve
Mary surrendered herself body, soul, and mind to God’s plan.
She had faith in God and knew that God’s plan was the best plan, the most righteous plan.
We should have the faith and resolve of Mary.
Trust in Him today!
