I enjoy running across intriguing references to music in our ancient literature. Today I found this, “…music has power to ease tension within the heart and to loosen the grip of obscure emotions… The enthusiasm of the heart expresses itself… From immemorial times the inspiring effect of the invisible sound that moves all hearts, and draws them together, has mystified us.” ~ found in the I Ching (or book of changes), Wilhelm/Baynes translation, in the commentary on Hexagram 16, Enthusiasm.
Today’s music quote – taken from one of the world’s great classics…
