From the REG: A musician is defined as a person who wrote songs...
Nunc Dimittis, Benedictus, and Magnificat all Involve Music because they are songs.
Why in the WORLD are their singers not considered Musicians?
Simeon, Zecharias, nor Mary are listed in the REG as Musicians. Why?
Sincerely,
Someone who wants The Woman with Child to be considered a Revelation Musician because she is the same Unique Character as Mary.

I sing songs when I am taking a shower. Sadly, no one calls me a "musician."* :(
*Or at least no one calls me a musician without having an ulterior motive.

The argument is that those songs became song through tradition and were not when they were initially spoken. In the bible, its says "And Mary said..." and so on.
Honestly, until some reputable scholar finds an alternative meaning for the Greek word used for "said" in those instances and that person interpretation is widely accepted, I doubt Mary will ever become a musician in the eyes of Redemption.
sincerely,
Someone who also really wishes Mary was a musician.

There is a vast difference between the Hebrew musical tradition, the Greek musical tradition, and the Western musical tradition. Redemption uses its own definition, and I think it's something like professional musicians or the Bible specifically says they composed a song (which used to be unevenly applied but I think is consistent now).
