Someone told me that when Jesus returns he is <br />going to be playing a trumpet. Is that true? <br /> <br />Well, that got me to thinking about what kind of <br />music he might play. Will it be some complex <br />modal thing like Wynton Marsalis or Miles Davis <br />might play? That would be way cool but I can’t <br />imagine he would do that. I mean, I just don’t see <br />jazz on the Judgment Day soundtrack, do you? <br />And I think it would look silly for Jesus to be <br />walking down the street playing jazz trumpet. His <br />return should have more of a grandiose look to it. <br /> <br />So what kind of music will it be? I know what <br />you’re thinking – some kind of majestic heralding <br />bugle thing, right? But that might come off <br />sounding like some dopey gladiator movie, and <br />people might think Victor Mature is returning <br />instead of Jesus. Gladiator bugles would be too <br />contrived. People might even laugh at the <br />hokiness of it and you certainly don’t want that <br />happening on such a momentous occasion. <br /> <br />I was also thinking that Jesus might want to <br />consider handing off the trumpet duties to an <br />assistant or have it prerecorded because he’ll be <br />busy with the human selection process – saving <br />some people and sending others to their demise. <br />I just hope he doesn’t do that on a railroad <br />platform. I mean, Judgment Day is going to have <br />unavoidable Holocaust overtones anyway, so he <br />probably should go easy on the Auschwitz visuals.<br /><br />Professor Poetry Hound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trumpets-part-1/
