Being a suck up, bowing, scrubbing, prostrating, and praising another for potentially eternity. No wonder he got tired of that stuff and rebelled. How he took it as long as he did
is a miracle for sure.

Lucifer was the most beautiful, intelligent, and mightiest Seraphim, angel closest to God. All the people that said music are right.
Lucifer resigned from heaven. God, being the well-documented sadist that he is, no doubt wanted to keep Lucifer around so that he could punish him and try to get him back under his (God's) power. Probably what really happened was that Lucifer came to hate God's kingdom, his sadism, his demand for slavish conformity and obedience, his psychotic rage at any display of independent thinking and behavior. Lucifer realized that he could never fully think for himself and could certainly not act on his independent thinking so long as he was under God's control. Therefore he left Heaven, that terrible spiritual-State ruled by the cosmic sadist Jehovah, and was accompanied by some of the angels who had had enough courage to question God's authority and his value-perspective. Lucifer is the embodiment of reason, of intelligence, of critical thought. He stands against the dogma of God and all other dogmas. He stands for the exploration of new ideas and new perspectives in the pursuit of truth.

The answer to this question is not found in the Christian Bible, but in uncanonized scripture which also deserves study. Lucifer was the angel in charge of music, but if you are interested in the whole story, read the Torah as well as other scripture not recognized by most religions which tell this and many other stories. Then pray for guidance as to what the meaning God want's you to have of what you read. Faith, not religion, will provide you the answers you seek. Peace is the test of validity.

All the music references are exaggerated. The passage in scripture that they would refer to (if they even knew it) is Ezek 28. Where it is referring to the King of Tyre.
[Ezekiel 28:12] SON OF MAN, TAKE UP A LAMENTATION UPON THE KING OF TYRUS, AND SAY UNTO HIM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THOU SEALEST UP THE SUM, FULL OF WISDOM, AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY.
Oops, guess folks skipped that when they started w/ Ezek 28:13.
If it does allude to Lucifer, then obviously symbolism is in play.
To interpret this literally is a flawed approach. There is much allegory, symbolism and poetry in these prophecies.
It borders on superstition to interpret this as Lucifer being in charge of music and that he had musical horns growing out of his body.

He was a cherub, which are the angelic worshippers.
When people say it was the king of Tyre, they are mistaken. The narrative shifts from the king of Tyre to Lucifer. If they read the whole context, they would understand. The quote below is clearly saying Lucifer is a cherub, not the king of Tyre.

Orchestrating the MUSIC of heaven. He was a powerful and beautiful angel and probably still is, but beauty and power does not equal goodness as is also demonstrated in humans.

He was the most beautiful creation God ever made ,,, but he got to big for his britches and wanted to take over heaven, and replace God, so God kicked his behind -out, and one third of the angels in HEAVEN fell with him.

Satan was a head cherubim and I have no idea what his job was except that he held a high position in heaven.
