"Of all the arts, great music
is the art to raise the soul above all earthly storms."
Leland
Sound of Praise
There is an old Hebrew legend which says that after God created the world, he
called the angels to Him and asked what they thought of it. One of them
said, "There is something lacking: the sound of praise to the
Creator." So God created music, and it was heard in the whisper of
the wind, and in the song of the birds; and to the people also was given the
gift of song. And all down the ages this gift of song has indeed proved a
blessing to multitudes of souls.
