Francisco Bawdon Rivera has been playing the guitar and performing music for forty-six years. In the 1960''s in the Battle-Of-The-Bands, playing rock''n''roll, to the 1970''s writing his first Christian songs. Then in the 1980''s learning to compose Bible Scripture to song while serving a five and one/half year prison term for burglaries committed to support a drug habit acquired during the flower-child era which was in the 1960''s. This music which he calls Psalmistyle Christian Music is Bible Scripture sung word-for-word accompanied with musical instruments. It is not just for Christians. Psalmistyle Music is for all people. "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son that whosover believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." JN 3:16 That means His word the "Holy Bible" is a love letter to everybody in the world, with no exceptions, every person! Psalmistyle Music is music, melody and God''s Word.
Listen and you will remember! Going Up! The Songs of Degrees! Also called Songs of Ascent, or Pilgrim Songs. Believed to have been designed for Vocal Music, to be sung by pilgrims on the road up to the annual feasts at Jerusalem: Passover, Pentecost and
Tabernacles, (Second Chronicles 8:13) or, as they went up
the fifteen steps to the men''s court; or Ascents may mean
the Elevated Voice in which they were sung. The word
Degrees used here actually means "Stairs" or "Steps" it
literally means "going up to a higher place"! The Psalms
are Paths of Poetry, Architecture, Music, Dance and Drama.
