It is the special province of music to move the heart.

God's gift to his sorrowing creatures is a joy worthy of their destiny.

Ah! How sweet coffee tastes! Lovelier than a thousand kisses, sweeter far than muscatel wine!

The most stupendous miracle in all music.

It is the special province of music to move the heart.

It cannot remain unmentioned that so many poorly equipped boys, and boys who have no talent at all for music, have been accepted into the school to date that the quality of music has necessarily declined and deteriorated. And those who do bring a few precepts with them when they come to school are not ready to be used immediately.

Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.
