The concept of "Most High Music" has been at work in Linda Metz
for a long time. Early in her music career the kinds of comments she received
about her playing pertained to two things: a healing quality and a heavenward
quality. Linda says that her greatest joy with music has always been in giving
it to others and seeing them respond to the One behind the music. The name
"Most High Music" was inspired "through a dream . . . in which
I was instructed to open my Bible to Psalm 87. Upon waking, as I read this
Psalm and pondered the mystery of citizenship in heaven, the words 'Most High'
jumped off the page. Immediately the phrase "Most High Music" came
out of my mouth. It was the perfect description of what I feel when I play my
flute. The last verse of the Psalm clinched it for me: 'Then those who sing as
well as those who play the flutes shall say, All my springs of joy are in
you.'" For these springs of joy, and for the belief that music is one of
God's powerful tools for touching our lives, Linda dedicates her talent, her
music, and this website.
A Few Comments About Her Music
From a wife and mom, "Linda's playing gets inside you and chokes you
up."
From a music director, "Her music is a long drink of cool water. Her
speaking is every bit as satisfying. She's a musician's musician, one of the
finest and most original I've ever heard. Her concert was an experience my
choir talked about for weeks afterward."
From a senior citizen, "That's just plumb pretty!"
And from her first music teacher, her mother, regarding the new Christmas CD,
"That's the prettiest music I've ever heard!"
