Music is one of the best of arts. The notes make the words living. Music drives away the spirit of sadness, as we see by King Saul. Music is the best recreation for sad men; thereby, the heart becomes contented, refreshed, and restored. Music makes a man more tender and sweet-natured, more moral and reasonable. I love music at all times. A man who knows this art is qualified for all good things. It is necessary to keep music in schools. I do not look at |
a school-teacher who can not sing. I would not part with my little music for great riches. Singing is the best art and training. Dear, sing me a song as David did when playing his harp. Music is a gift and a donation of the Lord, and not from men. It drives away the devil, and makes people merry; they forget anger, impurity, pride and other vices. And we see how David and all other saints have put their pious thoughts into poems and songs. — Martin Luther, Dec. 18, 1538. |
