Hi Dorine, I'm not sure about classical music, it's always been a question. I have to see if EGW mentions anything about it. It's certainly far better than rock and metal though. I've seen some shocking musical presentations in our SDA churches over the past few years. If one didn't know it was a SDA church, you would be sure it was the Grand Ole Opry. Truthfully Dorine, I'm sure it's the influence of the evil one to instill his music into our young people to thwart their minds. It's something like the National Anthem sung before a football game, each singer tries to put their own spin on the vocal inflections, and note bending to sound unique, something different than that boring old anthem and they want to be phrased for it.
I have to tell you sometime about my church back about five years or so, it still shocks me today. At the risk of sounding loony or fanatical to some, I'm sure I saw the evil one working in their midst. Once I tell you the story, you'll agree too.
