Music is intangible and ephemeral, but it comes from the home world of the spirit, and though so fleeting, it is recognized by the spirit as a soul-speech fresh from the celestial realms, an echo from the home whence we are now exiled, and therefore it touches a cord in our being, regardless of whether we realize the true cause or not.

The need to make music, and to listen to it, is universally expressed by human beings. I cannot imagine, even in our most primitive times, the emergence of talented painters to make cave paintings without there having been, near at hand, equally creative people making song. It is, like speech, a dominant aspect of human biology.

Music is the melody whose text is the world.

Music is that universal language which unifies the spirits of mankind.

Music is part of God's universe.

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

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being - a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit.

Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.

Music is an art that touches the depth of human existence; an art of sounds that crosses all borders.
